How do I use Ghost 2002

[Dolla]

Hi,
I have Ghost 2002 Corporate. I want to make an image of a Win2k machine. However, both of my hard drives are NTFS. I have heard that Ghost can't store images onto a NTFS drive?
Can someone give me instructions on how to make my image (and have it work with what I have)? Also, will I have a problem on a network with two exact same computer images? How can I remedy this?

The Problem:
2 HDs, both NTFS. Want to create an image of a partition and store it on the other hard drive.

Thanks!

It can't be done with only Ghost on to two drives on the same machine.

There are options to access NTFS from dos but they are expensive. Your best option is to buy Drive Image.

It's my understanding that Ghost 2001 won't write to an NTFS partition, but that Ghost 2002 fixed that limitation.

Check out Symantec's site.

No Rio, you should check the website. There are still limitations with 2002 and this can't be done.

Sorry to hear that.

I have Ghost 2001, and I was planning to get 2002 for this very reason. Thanks for the tip.

Hmmm... that kinda sucks about Ghost...
Thanks for all the replies though. I suppose I will try DriveImage and see how that goes.

You can get around it with Ghost by formatting the 2nd drive FAT32. But then you still cannot image drive 2 to drive 1.

Dolla, you might could get around that limitation by putting the image of one partition onto CD-R(s) and then copying that image from the CDs onto the other partition.
