When to use Norton Ghost in Windows

Use Norton Ghost in Windows to do the following:

Back up your computer

Restore an image file onto your computer

You can use the Restore Wizard to restore an image file if you can still start Windows.

Clone a hard disk or partition directly to another hard disk or partition

Do not use Norton Ghost in Windows for the following tasks. Use Ghost.exe in DOS for any of the following:

If you cannot start Windows on your computer See “Restoring from an image file” on page 101.

Cloning a computer that does not have Windows installed See “Cloning disks and partitions” on page 104.

Note: Sometimes the drive letter in Norton Ghost in DOS does not match the drive letter in Windows.

For example:

You back up to a file, F:\test.gho. When you execute a backup task, the backup appears in Ghost.exe as E:\test.gho.
