partitions, Norton Ghost positions each partition or logical drive on the
target disk using the same rules as FDISK, copying the partitions on a file-
by-file basis.
An image file can be stored on a CD, Superdisk, JAZ or ZIP drive, or other
removable media. This file can be used for backup or for cloning copies of
the original disk.
Norton Ghost runs in DOS with a simple graphical interface. Alternatively,
to simplify repetitive tasks, command-line switches can automate
operation.
The Norton Ghost installation CD contains these additional utilities that
work with Norton Ghost:
■
Ghost Explorer recovers and deletes individual directories and files
from an image file.

utilization, batch mode operation, hiding and unhiding of
partitions, and extensive partition reporting.
Unlike FDISK, which uses interactive menus and prompts, GDISK is
command line driven and offers quicker configuration of a disk’s
partitions.

alternative storage location within DOS. Norton Ghost can make complete
backups of disks or partitions. Norton Ghost even copies in-use system
files that other backup utilities miss, making it a great tool for disaster
recovery operations.

With Norton Ghost you can save all of the contents on one internal hard
disk drive or partition to another by cloning local disk-to-disk, or partition-

disk drive jumpers and CMOS/BIOS correctly configured. As with all
