Ghosting :: Other Resources and documentation

Links for additional help with Ghost

• Tutorial on How To Create A Bootable Ghost Rescue CD
• Very popular general tutorial on using Ghost
• A well-organized guide and reference to Ghost, especially useful when what you need is not a tutorial per se. The version described is a step newer than the CPs version. (Thanks to Terry Jones for the suggestion.)
• Symantec's support tech note on saving images directly to NTFS
• Symantec's support tech notes on Burning a Ghost image file to a CD and more specifically on How to save an image file directly to a CD-R/RW disc.
• Symantec's general product page for Ghost, under their "small business and home office" classification. This product is called Norton Ghost 2003.
• Symantec's general product page for Ghost, under their "enterprise products and services" classification. This product is called Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition. Also see Symantec Ghost MFG which includes lots of additional tools along with the core Ghost product also separately available, Ghost 32 for Windows PE which is recommended by Bart for use with his free bootdisk and boot-CD systems. Symantec's note about Ghost 32 is:

  Ghost32
  Ghost 32 is certified to run on Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE*). Using Ghost32 one can create image files on hard drives that are accessible from WinPE via a variety of methods including the GhostCast Server.
  NOTE Regarding Ghost 32 for Windows PE:
  Ghost32 For WinPE (a component of the Symantec Ghost MFG 1.0 release) is available as a natural upgrade path to all Ghost 7.5 customers with active maintenance. In order to maintain compliance with your original Windows PE license, please be prepared to provide all Windows PE license agreements when upgrading.
  

  In regard to this, note that Bart's-PE can be used instead of WinPE, and the license issues then will be inapplicable; also note, the mentioned predecessor version of Ghost (7.5) is the one present on CPS remediation disks and distribution servers.
• The OTS Ghosting handbook.
• Sysprep for 2000. (Recommended in the OTS handbook.)
  • Download page for sysprep 2000 program. (It may not let you go directly there, but you can probably check "Agree" and proceed.)
  • Microsoft's overview page.
  • Microsoft's page on win2k deployment. The Chapter 25 document has a section on sysprep.
  • Locally trimmed-down doc, from Chapter 25 only the Sysprep sections. [Not yet ready, will link when ready.]
  • Microsoft page to download a zipped Power Point presentation on cloning with Sysprep. And our copy of that PPT.
  • A good, direct how-to tutorial.
  • ZSymantec's guide to using Sysprep with Ghost.
  • Labmice page of links and summaries.
