Re: Differences between cloned drive and original

I've been using Ghost 2003 to make a clone of my Master
Drive (XP/SP2) in Slave position on IDE cable, to use as
a live backup of the Master OS.

Today I found these differences:

Master was running 237 MB PF usage, when I booted to it
as the operating system, while the Clone ran only
100 MB PF usage when I booted to it as the active
operating system. (Both on the IDE cable at the same time).

When running the Clone as the active OS, the Task Manager
column for the User Name was completely blank. Image
names are all there. (Both one the IDE cable at same time).

The bottom toolbar was a pale gray on the Clone system,
instead of the light olive drab color as in the Master.

When operating the Clone Syatem, booting to it in Slave
position, the Desktop Icons are all present and all
functional.

I hope I've described it clearly, and would appreciate
any helpful (n.b.) comments on the above.


You didn't do something correctly if you got those results.

Yes, I can agree with that.......but what I did was so simple, I couldn't have done it wrong. I loaded G2003, went to Clone, indicated
the source and where to put the copy, and let it run its course.

If you do a DISK TO DISK COPY when you boot the second disk IS AN EXACT COPY and there is NOTHING missing. I've used G2003 for years, it always works when you clone a disk.

Read on.

It could be that you're leaving the disk connected and that something from the booting OS is messing with the second drive as I never ghost a disk to disk and leave the cloned disk in place. 

The master and clone have to both be in place to make the clone,
obviously. When I finish, I change the BIOS and let it boot
to the Clone (HDD-1). That's a simple straightforward dual-boot
operation, and has worked for years. The Clone then works as the
only Active OS.... The original Master is not running as an OS.


Also, you are doing this from a DOS BOOT DISK, right?

I have no DOS BOOT DISK. I run Norton System Works, select GHOST,
select Advanced, select CLONE a disk and it runs.
