Symantec 10024709 manual Dl=number

Command-line switches

Command-line switches

157

-dl=number	Specifies the number of hard disks present. Valid numbers are between 1 and 8. This may
	help when the BIOS does not report the number of drives correctly.
-dlist=drives	Specifies a list of drives to search for span files. If a span file cannot be found, then the
	drive letters in dlist are substituted one by one to look for the file on other drives.
	For example, the command ghost -dlist=CDEFG instructs Norton Ghost to look for files
	on C, D, E, F, and G drives. The path remains the same.
-f32	Lets Norton Ghost convert all FAT16 volumes to FAT32 volumes when the destination
	partition to convert is larger than 256 MB in size. Ensure that the installed operating
	systems can access the volumes that will be converted to support FAT32.
-f64	Lets Norton Ghost resize FAT16 partitions to be larger than 2047 MB using 64 K clusters.
	This is only supported by Windows NT and Windows 2000. Do not use on computers
	with other operating systems
-fatlimit	Limits the size of FAT16 partitions to 2047 MB. Useful when Windows NT FAT16
	partitions are present on the disk and 64 K clusters are not wanted
-fcr	Creates a CRC32 file, Ghost.crc, while creating an image file.
	See “-CRC32 switch usage” on page 172.
-fdsp	Preserves the signature bytes on the destination disk when performing a disk-to-disk or
	image-to-disk cloning operation
-fdsz	Clears the signature bytes on the destination disk when performing a disk-to-disk or
	image-to-disk cloning operation.
-femax	When an extended partition is created in a disk-to-disk or image-to-disk operation, the
	femax switch ensures that the extended partition takes up all free space.
-ffatid	Forces the FAT partition id. This switch changes the partition id to the recommended
	partition id for the FAT partition within the destination image file or the destination
	partition table. This switch only takes effect if the source is a disk or partition, not an
	image file.
	For example, if you are cloning a partition of type 0xA0 (some unknown partition id), and
	Norton Ghost sees it as a valid FATx (FAT12/FAT16/FAT32) partition, then the partition id
	is changed from 0xA0 to FATx.
	This was default Norton Ghost behavior before Symantec Ghost 7.5. This switch allows
	for backward compatibility.
-ffi	Prefers the use of direct IDE access for IDE hard disk operations. This switch does not
	have any effect when running Norton Ghost in Windows 98.
-ffs	Prefers the use of direct ASPI/SCSI disk access for SCSI hard disk operations.
-ffx	Prefers the use of Extended Interrupt 13h disk access for hard disk operations.
