Ghost switch not working

[NEM1S1S]

Windows XP
Partition 1: NTFS
Partition 2: FAT32

Trying to dump an image file sitting on parition 2 to partition 1 via a bootable floppy disk. Here is my switch:

@echo off
ghost -FNI -clone,mode=load,src=c:\winxp.gho,dst=1:1 -sure -rb

it's not working

My Ghost manual is at work, but are you sure that's not meant to be mode=pload?

[NEM1S1S]

@echo off
ghost -FNI -clone,mode=pload ,src=c:\winxp.gho,dst=1:1 -sure -rb

like this you think?

[Tuttle]

Yes. (Although you've left an extra space in that second line which shouldn't be there...)

I even converted the NTFS partition to FAT32 and it still won't work! The switch looks fine! It says "invalid destination drive"

isn't 1:1 Drive 1:Partition 1???????

Error: 11030

src=c:\winxp.gho,dst=1:1

I use the Ghost GUI so don't have much experience with the switches, but it looks to me like your source and destination are on the same partition. If the destination is 1:1 then your source can't be on c:\. If I understand you correctly, your source is on d: and your destination is c:.

Which version of Ghost are you using? Later versions work flawlessly between Fat32 & NTFS partitions. No need to convert the file system though since that info is contained in the Image file.

When you're running Ghost from DOS it won't have drive letters for the NTFS partition, so C: would actually be partition 2. However, the image file needs to be addressed by partition number too:

ghost -FNI -clone,mode=pload,src=c:\winxp.gho:1,dst=1:1 -sure -rb

Ok, this is the switch that worked:

ghost -FNI -clone,mode=pload,src=d:\winxp.gho:1,dst=1:1 -sure -rb

I might convert the original partition back to NTFS now.
