Norton Ghost 12 Dos Version Of Tr

Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • History [ ] Binary Research developed Ghost in, New Zealand. After the Symantec acquisition, a few functions (such as translation into other languages) were moved elsewhere, but the main development remained in Auckland until October 2009 at which time much was moved to India.

[ ] Technologies developed by 20/20 Software were integrated into Ghost after their acquisition by Symantec in April 2000. PowerQuest [ ] At the end of 2003, Symantec acquired its largest competitor in the disk-cloning field, [ ]. On August 2, 2004, Norton Ghost 9.0 was released as a new consumer version of Ghost, which is based on PowerQuest′s version 7, and provides Live imaging of a Windows system. Ghost 9 continues to leverage the PowerQuest file format, meaning it is not backward compatible with previous versions of Ghost.

Norton Ghost is a comprehensive disk imaging solution for home and small office users. Enhanced with Drive Image technology, which Symantec obtained through the. Documentation version: 9.0. As defined in FAR 12.212 and subject to restricted rights as defined in FAR Section 52.227-19. About Norton Ghost.

However, a version of Ghost 8.0 is included on the Ghost 9 recovery disk to support existing Ghost customers. Ghost 3.1 [ ] The first versions of Ghost supports only the cloning of entire disks. However, version 3.1, released in 1997 supports cloning individual. Ghost could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. Ghost allows for writing a clone or image to a second disk in the same machine, another machine linked by a parallel or network cable, a network drive, or to a tape drive.

Ghost 4.0 and 4.1 [ ] Version 4.0 of Ghost added technology, following the lead of a competitor,. Multicasting supports sending a single image simultaneously to other machines without putting greater stress on the network than by sending an image to a single machine.

This version also introduced Ghost Explorer, a program which supports browsing the contents of an image file and extract individual files from it. Explorer was subsequently enhanced to support to adding and deleting files in an image with, and later with, and. Until 2007, Ghost Explorer could not edit NTFS images. Ghost Explorer could work with images from older versions but only slowly; version 4 images contain indexes to find files rapidly. Version 4.0 also moved from to. The additional memory available allows Ghost to provide several levels of for images, and to provide the file browser. In 1998, Ghost 4.1 supports password-protected images.

Ghost 5.0 [ ] Version 5.0 moved to. Unlike the of earlier versions, 5.0 uses a (GUI). The Binary Research logo, two stars revolving around each other, plays on the main screen when the program is idle. In 1998, Gdisk, a script-based, was integrated in Ghost. Gdisk serves a role similar to, but has greater capabilities. Ghost for NetWare [ ] A Norton Ghost version for (called 2.0), released around 1999, supports partitions (although it runs in, like the others).

Ghost 6.0 (Ghost 2001) [ ] Ghost 6.0, released in 2000, includes a management console for managing large numbers of machines. The console communicates with client software on managed computers and allows a to refresh the disk of a machine remotely. As a DOS-based program, Ghost requires machines running Windows to reboot to DOS to run it.

Ghost 6.0 requires a separate DOS partition when used with the console. Ghost 7.0 / Ghost 2002 [ ] Released March 31, 2001, Norton Ghost version 7.0 (retail) was marketed as Norton Ghost 2002 Personal Edition. Ghost 7.5 [ ] Released December 14, 2001, Ghost 7.5 creates a virtual partition, a DOS partition which actually exists as a file within a normal Windows file system. This significantly eased systems management because the user no longer had to set up their own partition tables. Ghost 7.5 can write images to discs.

Later versions can write. Symantec Ghost 8.0 [ ] Ghost 8.0 can run directly from Windows.

It is well-suited for placement on bootable media, such as ′s bootable CD. The corporate edition supports, and transfers via. Ghost 8.0 supports NTFS file system, although NTFS is not accessible from a DOS program. Transition from DOS [ ] The off-line version of Ghost, which runs from bootable media in place of the installed operating system, originally faced a number of driver support difficulties due to limitations of the increasingly obsolete 16-bit environment. Driver selection and configuration within DOS was non-trivial from the beginning, and the limited space available on floppy disks made disk cloning of several different disk controllers a difficult task, where different SCSI, USB, and CD-ROM drives were involved. Mouse support was possible but often left out due to the limited space for drivers on a floppy disk.

Some devices such as USB often did not work using newer features such as USB 2.0, instead only operating at 1.0 speeds and taking hours to do what should have taken only a few minutes. As widespread support for DOS went into decline, it became increasingly difficult to get hardware drivers for DOS for the newer hardware.

Disk imaging competitors to Ghost have dealt with the decline of DOS by moving to other recovery environments such as, or, where they can draw on current driver development to be able to image newer models of disk controllers. Nevertheless, the DOS version of Ghost on compatible hardware configurations works much faster than most of the *nix based image and backup tools [ ]. Ghost 8 and later are Windows programs; as such, they can run on Windows PE, or and use the same plug and play hardware drivers as a standard desktop computer, making hardware support for Ghost much simpler.

Norton Ghost 2003 [ ] Norton Ghost 2003, a consumer edition of Ghost, was released on September 6, 2002. Available as an independent product, Norton Ghost 2003 was also included as a component of Norton SystemWorks 2003 Professional. A simpler, non-corporate version of Ghost, Norton Ghost 2003 does not include the console but has a Windows front-end to script Ghost operations and create a bootable Ghost. The machine still needs to reboot to the virtual partition, but the user does not need to interact with DOS. Symantec deprecated support for Norton Ghost 2003 in early 2006. Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 1.0 (Ghost 8.2) [ ].

Symantec Ghost 8.2 Released November 15, 2004, Symantec renamed the Enterprise version of Ghost to Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 1.0. This helped clarify the difference between the consumer and business editions of the product. This was further defined in February 2006, with the release of Norton Save And Restore (also known as Norton Backup And Restore), a standalone backup application based on Ghost 10.0. Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 1.1 (Ghost 8.3) [ ] Ghost Solution Suite 1.1 is a bundle of an updated version of Ghost, Symantec Client Migration (a user data and settings migration tool) and the former PowerQuest equivalent, DeployCenter (using PQI images).

Ghost Solution Suite 1.1 was released on December 2005. It can create an image file that is larger than 2 GB. (In Ghost 8.2 or earlier, such image files are automatically split into two or more segments, so that each segment has a maximum size of 2 GB.) Other new features include more comprehensive manufacturing tools, and the ability to create a 'universal boot disk'.

[ ] Norton Ghost 9.0 (includes Ghost 2003) [ ] Ghost 9.0 was released August 2, 2004. It represents a significant shift in the consumer product line from Ghost 2003, in several ways: • It uses a totally different code base, based on the / product via Symantec′s acquisition of.

• It is a Windows program that must be installed on the target system. • Images can be made while Windows is running, rather than only when booted directly into DOS mode. • images (containing only changes since the last image) are supported. • Requires in order to function fully. • The bootable environment on the Ghost 9 CD is only useful for recovery of existing backups. It cannot be used to create new images. Since Ghost 9 does not support the older.gho format disk images, a separate CD containing Ghost 2003 is included in the retail packaging for users needing to access those older images.

The limitations of Ghost 9 compared to Ghost 2003 were not well-communicated by Symantec, and resulted in many dissatisfied customers who purchased Ghost 9 expecting the previous version′s features (like making images from the bootable Ghost environment, no installation required, and no product activation). Norton Ghost 10.0 [ ] Supports creating images on CDs, DVDs, and disks as well as (FireWire) and. Supports encrypting images and with Maxtor OneTouch buttons. Ghost 10.0 is compatible with previous versions, but not with future versions. Norton Save And Restore 1.0 (Ghost 10.0) [ ] Norton Save And Restore 1.0, released in February 2006, was the renamed consumer version of Ghost.

It used Ghost 10.0′s engine, with the addition of features to allow backup and restoration of individual files. Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 (Ghost 11.0) [ ] Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 was released in November 2006. Qt Kommunikation Über Serielle Schnittstelle Beispiel Cv. This version provides significant improvements in performance, as well as the ability to edit NTFS images.

This version also adds support for, versions of Windows, and (GPT) disks. However, the software does not fully support systems with (EFI) firmware. Ghost 11.0 supports saving and restoring from native Ghost image format (.gho,.ghs) and raw images (.img,.raw).

Norton Ghost 12.0 [ ] Ghost 12.0 includes support with an updated and more thorough user interface. It supports both full system backup and individual files or folders backup.

This version provides a 'LightsOut Restore' feature, which restores a system from an on-disk software recovery environment similar to, thereby allowing recovery without a bootable CD. Upon system startup, a menu asks whether start the operating system or the LightsOut recovery environment. LightsOut restore would augment the, which comes with Ghost. The latter contains a recovery environment that can recover a system without a working operating system. Norton Save & Restore 2.0 (Ghost 13.0) [ ] NSR 2.0 has fewer features in comparison to Norton Ghost 12.

NSR 2.0 offers one-time backups, file and folder backup, simplified schedule editor, Maxtor OneTouch integration and modifiable Symantec recovery disc. This version supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista. Norton Ghost 14.0 [ ] Version 14.0 uses (VSS) to make backups and can store backups to an site. Ghost can connect to ThreatCon, a Symantec service that monitors malware activity around the world, and performs when a specific threat level is reached. Other features include the ability to back up to devices and support for partitions up to 16TB.

Ghost can manage other installations of version 12.0 or later across a network. This version no longer supports opening.gho image files. It stores images in.v2i format. Incremental backup images created with Norton Ghost are saved with.iv2i filename extensions alone the original full backup (with.v2i filename extension) on a regular basis.

Older.gho image files can be restored using Ghost Explorer, a separate utility. Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 (Ghost 11.5) [ ] The ghost software for enterprise, including Ghost 11.5, was released in May 2008. New features include: Feature Description DeployAnywhere Allows drivers to be injected during image deployment to lessen the need for hardware dependent images. Hot imaging Allows live machines to be used as the source to keep images from becoming stale and out of date.

Image formats Ghost 11.5 supports saving to and restoring from native Ghost image format (.gho and.ghs) and format (.vmdk). It also supports restoring from DriveImage format (.v2i,.iv2i,) image format (.pqi) and Backup Exec System Recovery (BESR) format. PreOS boot disk • 64-bit with greatly enhanced driver set • Linux (based on ) As of January 6, 2010, the latest build from Live Update is 11.5.1.2266 (Live Update 5 (LU5)). This updates Ghost Solution Suite to 2.5.1 and provides support for and. Furthermore, Ghost 11.5 is compatible with 's bootable CD using a.

Please read carefully and follow tutorials fully out --------------------------- Attention! Luckily I have found an direct download of Ghost.exe (DOS-version of Ghost11) Download Put this file to folder disk1 in EasyBoot and follow guidelines in post nr;2 (skip step 9 as you now already have ghost.exe in folder disk1) -------------------------- Some info. I'm also critical to how you created ghost image of your WinXP-system The 100% correct way is to do it from DOS (reboot computer and create ghost image) Further more; you cannot use lets say ghost11 to create an image and then use ghost8 to 'clone' back (restore) your WindowsXP because Ghost images created by an 'higher ghost' (ghost11 as example) can not be used by an 'lower ghost (ghost8 as example.

To sum up; ghost images created by ghost11 (as example) can not be cloned back using ghost8 (or ghost 2003 as example), the are 'mismatched' (incompatible) However ghost images created using ghost11 (any version as long it is ghost11) can of course be cloned back using any Ghost11 (any version) Same goes for 'Ghostexp.exe'. Ghostexp.exe can have problems to open an ghost image that has been created by an 'higher' ghost version. -------------------------- I know this is a lot to absorb in an short time, but think a while about this: I live my life by the following words of wisdom and philosophy: every day I learn something new, signaling to me as an individual, I still have so much to learn And the more I learn, the more I realize how much I still have to learn And I'm getting to the age and are anything but fully learned.

Try to use an larger partition to 'restore' Ghost image to Further more, VMWare is not an ideal partner to run ghost test to. Again I guess that's why you also having problems with background picture Keep also in mind if you use solution 1024x768 (maximum solution) to background picture in EasyBoot, you are recommended to use 256 Color to Screen Mode So it seems you finally got DOS to work (launching Ghost from DOS floppy image) ---------------- EDIT! You may need to adjust switches in ghost as well I have no clue what you are doing here? Is it one harddisk with two partitions or two seperate hard disk units we are dealing with here?

In case you have created ghost image from an partition (partition-1 I guess) then you must use different switches If using one hard disk with two partitions, then use this switches MSCDEX.EXE /D:cd001 /L:X PATH=a:;a: dos;x: ghost.exe -clone,mode=prestore,src=X: system.gho:1,dst=1:1 -sure -rb Note the prestore (not restore p for partition) and the X: system.gho:1 Note:1 after ghost image file (it sets ghost to only image back the first partition) Basically I have no clue what you are doing here -------------------------- balder Edited by balder on Mar. 27 2015,16:49 -------------- Download complete set of scripts including help file Note: Script collection updated 11 may 2017.

With background i think i use 16mb colour for 1024x768 image. I will try that. I have one single hardisk in Pc. For Ghost parttion, i have 2GB ghost image. I am testing it on VMware on virtual partion in Vmware. I am here to get help and to help others. Hahah my ghost is larger and on high compression so, my windows is larger than 4gb & compressed to 2gb ghost image file.i install ghost everything works all files copied but it cant load beoc Vmware detect as Dos so i think it copy files,but windows cant load.its ok it will work on pc.but now help me wih those asking message about proceding etc.

Balder Group: Members Posts: 1935 Joined: Oct. 2008 Posted on: Mar. It seems you have in VmWare one disk unit with two partitions to disk unit You can put your 'system.gho' file to partition-2 and use ghost switches in Autoexec.bat like this: MSCDEX.EXE /D:cd001 /L:X PATH=a:;a: dos;x: ghost.exe -clone,mode=prestore,src=1:2 system.gho:1,dst=1:1 -sure -rb This restore partition-1 using ghost image.file 'system.gho' that is put on partition-2 So, you are telling me to put my system.gho on my virtual partion 2 and edit that Autoexc.bat file and and install ghost to partion 1.

But now tell me, should i create another.iso with modified Autoexc.bat using Ezyboot or use same.iso created with ezyboot and aother problem. I slect WIndows Xp option in VMware, and run Ghost it run fine but after 1% it ask fo floppy.txt file balder Group: Members Posts: 1935 Joined: Oct.

Well I have no clue what your intention is to do here I guess you like to setup windows to part-1 in VmWare and run testing of ghost on this VmWare (or something like that) Alternatively you want to 'restore' (load) an existing ghost image (with a Windows system) you have from somewhere else and ghost this to part-1 in VmWare, but this won't work as needed drivers etcetera isn't present in your Windows system. -------------------------- Quote: ' should i create another.iso with modified Autoexc.bat using Ezyboot or use same.iso created with ezyboot' Well it depends in if you are lazy or not Why not creating a new menu entry in Easyboot or even better up, create a submenu that only have ghost menu commands Note: I have no clue what you are doing here, do you have a large ghost image in folder disk1, and that's why you do not want to recreate ISO? Why don't you use 'simple solutions' instead of doing the 'final solution'? Put some files with size less than 1 MB on part-1 in VmWare (just to see if ghost is working okay) 2. Create Ghost image of Part-1 3.

Create menu system in EasyBoot with different ghost floppy images that use different ghost switches (depending in what you want to do with Ghost) 4. Start doing experiments with EasyBoot - now with a ISO less than let's say 20 MB in size - you can rebuild that easy and fast (easy to redo if things don't work out) 5.
