The LPT slave mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to automatically go into LPT slave mode
and is the equivalent of selecting LPT Slave from the main menu.
-lps
Forces the cylinder value to either 1022 or 1023 when the cylinder value is insufficient to
address the whole partition.
This switch works in DOS only.
When Ghost restores the partitions on an MBR disk, it initializes the starting sector, the
sector count, and ending sector of the partition. Ghost stores the starting sector and ending
sector in an MBR disk as a cylinder, head, and sector address. Ghost also stores an absolute
start sector and count. The cylinder value has a maximum value of 1023. However, the
cylinder maximum of 1023 is often insufficient to represent the size of the partition. When
the cylinder maximum is insufficient, the cylinder is set to a predetermined value. Ghost
sets the cylinder maximum to 1022 for FAT partitions and 1023 for other partitions. For
some tools, the cylinder value must be set specifically for the tool to recognize that it is
insufficient.
-mcyl=[1022|1023]
Turn off firewall manipulation.
This switch applies to Vista and Linux only.
-nfwm
Disables the automatic naming of spanned image files during creation. The user is prompted
for confirmation of the next destination location for the remainder of the image file that
is being restored.
-noauto
Includes the hibernation and skip files in the image file. These files are excluded by default.
See
“Hibernation and swap files”
on page 41.
-noautoskip
Disables the Image File Selection dialog box. Useful when opening directories with large
numbers of files and slow links.
-nofile
Disables access to IDE devices. This is equivalent to -fni for IDE disks, but noide also affects
ATAPI CD writers, tape drives, and other IDE devices.
-noide
Prevents Symantec Ghost from creating an index when creating an image file. This slightly
reduces the size of the image file and saves memory, but Ghost Explorer is much slower in
reading the image file. This switch is useful if you are saving an image file from a large disk
with very little memory.
-noindex
Does not attempt to patch the LILO or GRUB boot loader after a clone. If you use the -nolilo
switch, you can restart your computer from a floppy disk or CD after a clone and then run
/sbin/lilo or the GRUB install script as the root user to reinstall the boot loader.
-nolilo
Prevents Ghost from creating the virtual OS volumes disk.
By default Ghost creates a virtual disk to represent each volume (drive letter or Linux
device) available from the OS. This allows you to create and restore images of volumes that
Ghost cannot otherwise enumerate on a hard disk, for example, virtual disk partitions
mounted as drive letters.
-noOSdisk
