Hello moderator, how to run ghost.exe under NTFS format to backup or restore hard disk partitions.

I want to make an NTFS bootable disk to boot. Downloaded NTFSDOSPRO, but it's almost 3M. How should I make an NTFS bootable disk?

Please tell me the method or detailed steps. Thank you everyone.

Actually, I want to say that I have 4 partitions, all in NTFS format, and I put the downloaded image file.gho in drive D.

How to use ghost.exe under DOS, and also make it recognize the NTFS partition, find.gho, and restore the system to drive C.

That's it, thank you.

Ghost (I'm referring to the enterprise version 8.0) itself doesn't need the support of any third-party tools to access NTFS directly. But since it's no longer possible to use drive letters to access disk partitions under DOS, so we need to replace the drive letter with the partition number. For example, the C drive is 1:1, and the D drive is 1:2. Take your example:

1. You can boot into a pure DOS environment using a boot floppy or boot CD. You can directly put Ghost 8.0 on the boot floppy or CD.

2. Use the following Ghost command line to perform the restore operation:

ghost -clone,mode=pload,src=1:2\system.gho:1,dst=1:1 -sure -fx

Note that 1:2 in the command line means the D drive, and system.gho means the system image you downloaded (change it according to the actual situation).

The command line for system imaging of NTFS partitions is similar:

ghost -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=1:2\system.gho -sure -fx

In addition, under the NTFS environment, Acronis True Image Server is a better system imaging tool than Ghost.

The command parameters of this GHOST are really useful.
