Symantec GHOST IMAGING FOUNDATION 7.1, Manual

Page: 134 / 189

Reverts the naming of spanned files to the system used by versions of Symantec Ghost
prior to Symantec Ghost 6.5. If this switch is not used, then the naming of spanned files
conforms to Microsoft application guidelines. You do not need to use this switch when
reading an existing file. Use this switch when the first five characters in a file name must
be unique.
Note: Symantec Ghost supports long file names.
-cns
Table B-1 lists some examples of how spanned files are named.

The -CRC32 switch lists the files on a disk or partition or creates an image file with CRC
values and then verifies the list against the original or a copy. The purpose is to allow both
quick listing of the contents of an image file and verification that a disk created by Symantec
Ghost contains the same files as the original.
See “Using the -CRC32 switch” on page 157.
-CRC32
Ignores CRC errors. CRC errors indicate data corruption. This switch overrides CRC error
detection and may allow a corrupted image file to be used. Using this switch leaves the
corrupted files in an unknown state. You can use this switch to help you extract files from
a corrupted image file. -crcignore
Creates a file, Cvtarea.tmp, that is the location of the MFT when the FAT32 partition is
converted to NTFS. This switch operates in a similar manner to the cvtarea program that
Microsoft provides in Deploy.cab on the Windows XP installation CD.

The file is created in the root directory of the partition during a partition or disk restore
and is created as a contiguous space on the disk. The largest size allowed is 4 GB. If the file
is larger than this, it is truncated to 4 GB.
The syntax for this switch is as follows:
-cvtarea,filename=xxx,size=yyy{%disk,%free,KB,MB,GB},
firstcluster=zzz{%disk,%free,KB,MB,GB}
-cvtarea
The default settings are as follows:
