I created a DOS boot diskette, copied ghost.exe from the CD-ROM, and began testing Ghost's cloning feature on four NT 4.0 systems, two running Service Pack 4 (SP4) and two running SP5. Norton Ghost 12 Dos Version Command. Gho (Ghost) image to. In many Unix shells there is a limit to the number of arguments allowed on a single command.

Does anyone know if a USB 2.0 hard drive will work as a drive for Norton Ghost 2003? I want to make a complete image of the drive incase of a system drive failure. This way I can slip in the USB drive removed from its case, and boot.

I am not sure about the drive you mention.

You may want to try Norton's site and search their forums and suppt articles. Symantec maintains a list of compatible hardware. One thing to consider about using a USB drive. If you need to enable the Norton Ghost USB drivers, they will disable/conflict with your keyboard and mouse if you are using usb versions of each. If not, no conflict.

If you are using a usb keyboard and/or mouse, you will need a PS2 version to have a keyboard and mouse to use while in Ghost's DOS mode and having the USB drivers to access your usb drive. I use Ghost to a CD-RW with the USB drivers within Ghost turned off.

My keyboard and mouse then work just great. When I had the USB support within Ghost turned on, I did not have a keyboard or mouse to use since they are both USB based. IMNSHO Norton Ghost is a great product!

'Symantec maintains a list of compatible hardware' I could not find any such list on their website. Also, I receive a worthless email from their support that my external USB 2.0 harddrive is probably not compatible with the system. Isn't that great! I am going to investigate other back up means for my laptop that cannot have a second hard drive installed like my desktop.

Norton works great on a system that has 2 drives internally or if you use Zip Omega external USB 2.0 drives. I am very disappointed and would love to see another alternative.

Drive image 7.0? What is that? I use System Works 2003 (Norton Ghost 2003 is contained in it) and it should be an easy set up, so I thought. I have 3 issues. I cannot easily and readily make a bootable CD (I do not have a floppy drive on my laptop nor do I have access to one).
