In the Destination Drive Details dialog box, confirm or change the destination
disk partition layout.
The Destination Drive Details dialog box shows a suggested partition layout
for the destination disk. By default, Ghost.exe tries to maintain the same size
ratio between new disk partitions.
You can change the size of any target FAT, NTFS, or Linux Ext2/3 partition
by entering the new size in megabytes.
You cannot enter a value that exceeds the available space, is beyond the file
system's limitations, or is not large enough to contain the data held in the
source image.
Warning:
The Destination Drive Details dialog box shows a suggested partition

partition layout may mirror the source drive layout. Therefore, the destination
drive details appear similar to the source drive.
