Image file options

Ghost.exe in its default mode performs well with most SCSI tape devices. In some 
situations with older SCSI tape devices and possibly with unreliable tapes, 
Ghost.exe may need to be configured to slow down or alter the way it uses the 
tape device. 

Note: Ghost Explorer cannot access an image stored on tape.

If GoBack is installed on your computer, then you cannot directly create image 
files or restore your computer. 

You must disable GoBack before you use Norton Ghost wizards.

GoBack and Ghost.exe

To run Ghost.exe with GoBack, do one of the following:

■

Uninstall GoBack and then run Ghost.exe as usual to take an image or restore 
a computer.

■

To take an image of your computer, in the GoBack Boot Screen, select the 
option to start your computer from a floppy disk with the GoBack drivers 
loaded. You can then use a Ghost boot disk to start Ghost.exe and take an 
image file.
See the GoBack user documentation.

■

To restore your computer, start your computer from a floppy disk. You can 
then use a Ghost boot disk to start Ghost.exe and restore your computer.
