158Command-line switches

Command-line switches

-finger	Shows the fingerprint details written on a hard disk created by Norton Ghost. The
	fingerprint details include the process used to create the disk or partition and the time,
	date, and disk on which the operation was performed.
-fis	Uses all available disk space when creating partitions. By default, Norton Ghost often
	leaves a small amount of free space at the end of the disk. Because partitions must be
	aligned to cylinder boundaries, Norton Ghost may leave up to 5 MB free even when -fis is
	specified.
-fni	Disables direct IDE access support for IDE hard disk operations.
	This switch has the same functionality as the -noide switch.
-fns	Disables direct ASPI/SCSI access support for SCSI hard disk operations.
	This switch has the same functionality as the -noscsi switch.
-fnx	Disables extended INT13 support for hard disk operations.
-fro	Forces Norton Ghost to continue cloning even if the source contains bad clusters.
-fx	Causes Norton Ghost to exit to DOS after operation completion. By default, Norton Ghost
	prompts the user to restart or exit when the operation has finished. If Norton Ghost is run
	as part of a batch file, it is sometimes useful to exit back to the DOS prompt after
	completion so that further batch commands can be processed.
	See “-rb”on page 162.
-ghostoncd	Includes Ghost.exe on a CD/DVD when writing an image to a CD/DVD.
-h or -? or -help	Shows the Norton Ghost command-line switch Help page.
-ia	The image all switch forces Norton Ghost to perform a sector-by-sector copy of all
	partitions. When copying a partition from a disk to an image file or to another disk,
	Norton Ghost examines the source partition and decides whether to copy just the files and
	directory structure, or to do a sector-by-sector copy. If it understands the internal format
	of the partition, it defaults to copying the files and directory structure. Generally this is the
	best option. However, if a disk has been set up with special hidden security files that are in
	specific positions on the partition, the only way to reproduce them accurately on the
	target partition is through a sector-by-sector copy. If you use this switch to create an
	image of a dynamic disk, then the image must be restored to a disk with identical
	geometry.
-ial	Forces a sector-by-sector copy of Linux partitions. Other partitions are copied as normal.
-ib	The image boot switch copies the entire boot track, including the boot sector, when
	creating a disk image file or copying disk-to-disk. Use this switch when installed
	applications, such as boot-time utilities, use the boot track to store information. By
	default, Norton Ghost copies only the boot sector, and does not copy the remainder of the
	boot track. You cannot perform partition-to-partition or partition-to-image functions
	with the -ib switch.
