When to use Norton Ghost in Windows

Use Norton Ghost in Windows to do the following:

■

Back up your computer

■

Restore an image file onto your computer
You can use the Restore Wizard to restore an image file if you can still start 
Windows.

■

Clone a hard disk or partition directly to another hard disk or partition

Do not use Norton Ghost in Windows for the following tasks. Use Ghost.exe in 
DOS for any of the following:

■

If you cannot start Windows on your computer
See

■

Cloning a computer that does not have Windows installed
See

Note: Sometimes the drive letter in Norton Ghost in DOS does not match the 
drive letter in Windows. 

For example: 

You back up to a file, F:\test.gho. When you execute a backup task, the backup 
appears in Ghost.exe as E:\test.gho.

Before starting Norton Ghost, close all open programs.
