First, I don't know the specific purpose of this command. Secondly, I don't know the impact of this command on the system:

Today I saw someone's file made a floppy disk for automatic Ghost backup and restore, targeting my computer: c: NTFS, d: NTFS, e: FAT32.

config file


menucolor=7,1
menuitem=Restore,Ghost Restore
menuitem=Backup,Ghost Backup
menudefault=Restore,30

files=25
buffers=15
device=himem.sys /testmem:off
dos=high,umb
stacks=9,256
lastdrive=z



autoexec.bat file

@echo off
goto %config%
:Backup
md c:\Ghost
ghost -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=c:\ghost\win.gho -fx -sure -rb
goto exit
:Restore
md c:\Ghost
ghost -clone,mode=pload,src=c:\Ghost\win.gho,dst=1:1 -sure -rb
:exit

The directory structure of the floppy disk is as follows

|---autoexec.bat

|--command.com

|--config.sys

|--ghost.exe

|--himem.sys

|--io.sys

|--msdos.sys

After booting, the menu is normal, but after running any of the commands, there is an error of "xms not installed"...



Later, I removed "device=himem.sys /testmem:off" and there was no error...
I want to ask what is the reason?
Also, can Ghost back up normally if "device=himem.sys /testmem:off" is removed in Ghost...
Help me

himem.sys is the DOS-standard XMS (Extended Memory Management Program) driver, allowing DOS to manage memory above 1M. device=himem.sys is to load XMS. If it is not loaded, DOS can only use up to 640K of memory, even if your memory is 256M or more.
If problems occur after loading, there are mostly possible causes such as a problem in a certain position of the memory module or incompatibility between the memory module and the motherboard. If himem.sys is not loaded, GHOST can still be used, but it will definitely be much slower.

Dude, I want to ask:

src=c:\Ghost\win.gho, this can be recognized in the FAT32 partition, but it seems that it can't be recognized in the NTFS partition. Do you know how to make it recognizable in NTFS? Please give me some pointers.

What does this string of!! mean? How can I understand the programming language?

You can use GHOST without XMS

The following is a quote from bush on July 4, 2004 at 10:05:57 AM:

What does it mean? Is it the language of the earth?
