Once you select your image type the program will open up to your hard drives. I have opened the menu down to create an image of a partition. Start splash screen, this is Ghost32, behind the splash screen is the DOS command line box, If you close the DOS box it will close out the program, leave it open. My version of Symantec Ghost software is about four revision old so the interface will look a little different but the functions are the same. GHO for the extension the program will not restore the image when you need to use it!
Where as Ghost32 is a 32 bit program and the naming convention is the same as any Windows name, 256 characters and any extension you want. That being the naming convention: 8.3 which means the name can only be eight characters and the extension can only be three characters. Ghost being a 16 bit DOS program has to conform to DOS constraints. Then start the program Ghost, when it is running the interface is the same, the difference comes with the options. Once you have your tools, start the system with the bootable device which contains Symantec Ghost. The advantage of ERD or Bart's PE is that they are 32 bit Preinstalled Environment bootable live windows CD or DVD, you will have a Windows type interface. One is called a DOS command line program - Ghost.exe (16 bit program) and the other is a Windows program called Ghost32.exe (32 bit program). Note: If you build a DOS boot device or if you use a windows boot device such as ERD or Bart's PE, UBCD, Hiren or what ever.
Before you start you will need a couple of things:ΔΆ) A place to store your image, it should be 10 gig.
