    Cloning Using Ghost 2003

    Hi Guys,
    I have an 80Gig USB drive that I clone to...I split the drive into 2 virtual drives and Windows sees these fine.

    The difficulty with Ghost is that it seems to reformat (in DOS) and there is only one partition after cloning.

    Each partition is much larger than C drive.(40Gs each)
    (I would just like to make more use of this drive!)

    Any thoughts...thanks!

    Alan

    It sounds like you're using the Disk to Disk option, which will repartition the destination drive. You probably want Disk to Image instead, which will just create a single file.
    Safe computing is a habit, not a toolkit.

    Local, partition to partition is what you want.

    braine ded--The following link concerns Ghost9. I do not know if it will help with Ghost 2003
    http://radified.com/cgi-bin/YaBB/YaB...689845;start=0
    The key is that Ghost 9(anyway) does not like to Copy One Drive (clone) if the destination disk is smaller than the source disk. This is true even if the data content on the source disk is smaller than the destination disk. The link has some ideas to overcome the problem.
    A Ghost Backup (Image) does not seem to have the problem.
