Command-line switches
55
Files specified before the first [Partition:x] heading will be used to match
files in any partition.
A directory of * matches any subdirectory, regardless of nesting. The above
exclusion file will match any file with an extension of .1 in any
subdirectory on the second partition. Apart from this, wildcards should be
used for files, not for directories.
-crcignore
Ignores CRC errors. CRC errors indicate data corruption. This switch
overrides the CRC error detection to allow a corrupted image file to be
used. Note that using this switch will leave the corrupted files in an
unknown state.
-dd
Dumps disk metrics information to the dump log file ghststat.dmp. The file
location can be altered using the -dfile=filename switch.
-dfile=filename
Changes the path and filename of the dump log file created using the -dd
switch. This switch can not be included in the @ ghost switch text file.
-di
Displays diagnostics. This is useful for Technical Support purposes. For
each disk present on the machine, the physical attributes such as drive,
cylinders, heads, sectors per track, and total sectors are displayed. For each
partition present on each disk, the number, type, physical/logical flag,
starting sector and number of sectors are displayed. The diagnostics may
be redirected to a file and given to Technical Support to assist with
problem solving.
Example:
ghostpe.exe -di > diag.ls
will output disk diagnostics to the file diag.ls.
-dl=number
Specifies the highest BIOS fixed disk slot to attempt to detect. Solves
problems where some Phoenix BIOS based systems may hang when
Norton Ghost attempts to detect disks or when all disks do not appear in
