Re: Ghost c: drive to flash drive

Kurosh

Thank you for your post. Sounds like I'll need to find out
from Symantec. I guess the floppy would have to have
USB support to use a flash drive.

Hi George,

I may have spoken too soon. I did some checking into Ghost 2003, and
although it does support external USB drives (i.e. hard drive or CD/DVD
drive), it may not support "flash" drives. That's something either Symantec
or someone more knowledgable about Ghost 2003 might be able to answer for you.

Best Wishes,
Kurosh

If the flash drive is at least as large as your boot up partition, yes this
is possible. You should check the Norton Ghost 2003 manual for how to do
this, or contact Symantec Tech Support.

Is it possible to backup using Ghost 2003 in DOS mode to
backup my boot up partition? All my programs are also on
the boot drive. Right now I back up on a second drive on
my computer and DVDs.

Thank you.
