Running Ghost32.exe in Windows
Ghost32.exe is a Win32 version of Ghost.exe. It is designed to run on Microsoft
Windows Vista/XP/2000. You can use Ghost32.exe to perform most Ghost
operations on hard drives that are accessible from these operating systems. The
hard drives must be able to communicate with the GhostCast Server.
If you run Ghost32.exe in Windows, note the following information:
■
The partition on which Windows is installed cannot be overwritten.
■
In Windows 2000, if you are overwriting a disk, you must restart the computer.
In Windows XP/2003 Server, you should not have to restart the computer.
■
Hard-disk sizes might appear smaller than their actual sizes. Ghost32.exe can
only access the shown destination size. The remaining space is not used.
■
Ghost32.exe does not support mount-point volumes on Windows Vista/XP/2000
computers.
■
Hot imaging, which is the ability to capture an image of a computer without
leaving Windows, is supported for Windows XP and Vista. The captured image
is based on volume snapshots.
You can use the forcevolumesnapshot switch to force an attempt to use volume
SNAPSHOT on volumes in preference to standard volume locking.
