Symantec GHOST 14, Manual

Page: 29 / 184

If the drivers are available on the recovery disk, you receive a validation message.
If any drivers are missing from the recovery disk, the Driver Validation Results
dialog appears.
Without access to the correct drivers, a device cannot be used while running the
SRD. Therefore, if the recovery points required for recovering your computer are
stored on a network or a local hard drive, you might not have access to them.
You can find the drivers and copy them to a CD or a floppy disk, or you can create
a custom Symantec Recovery Disk CD.
See “Creating a custom Symantec Recovery Disk CD” on page 29.
Creating a custom Symantec Recovery Disk CD
Even if driver validation succeeds and your Symantec Recovery Disk CD appears
to work, you should create a custom Symantec Recovery Disk CD. A custom CD
will contain your computer's current network and storage device drivers, helping
to ensure that in an emergency you can get to the recovery points required to
restore your computer.
Note: You must have a writeable DVD/CD-RW drive to create a custom Symantec
Recovery Disk.
To create a custom Symantec Recovery Disk CD
1 Start Norton Ghost.
2
Attach and turn on all storage devices and network devices that you want to
make available.
3
Insert the Symantec Recovery Disk CD into your CD-ROM drive.
4
From the main Norton Ghost window, click Tasks > Create Recovery Disk,
and then click Next.

Recovery Disk CD, click OK, and then click Next.
