I was wondering if it's possible to ghost Windows 2000 professional, and use the cloned pc on the same network at the same time?

I've never heard of that before. A "ghost" is, basically, a exact copy of a system. BipolarBill 05-07-2002, 07:42 PM Nevermind . . . Oh? Were you planning some mischief, jray?

I've never heard of that before. Ghosting is the Norton's term for drive cloning. There are programs for copying hard drives sector by sector to another. What you get is two hard drives with identical contents. You can take the second hard drive to a new PC with the same hardware and fire it up. The 2 PCs usually act in exactly the same manner - bugs and all - for a while. bassman 05-07-2002, 07:52 PM Originally posted by BipolarBill The 2 PCs usually act in exactly the same manner - bugs and all - for a while. You can say that again :D Rugor 05-07-2002, 11:21 PM Yes you can ghost it-- Provided you're running FAT32 not NTFS. (I generally use ghost for backups more than cloning.) BipolarBill 05-07-2002, 11:50 PM Ghost does NTFS just fine...it just can't store images to an NTFS partition. jray 05-08-2002, 03:23 AM quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nevermind . . . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh?

Naw, problem solved; I was concerned with this: http://www.sysopt.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=105498 BipolarBill 05-08-2002, 09:58 AM You go boy! Yeah...I forgot about the SID thing. It's a GUID (globally unique identifier). You never mentioned a domain though. Ah well...we all learn. :) kazuza 05-11-2002, 06:00 PM Be aware that cloning NT partitions depend on which version of Ghost you have, for example, in Ghost 6.5 or 2001, you can clone NTFS partitions from WIN2k or win2kpro, if they're not dynamic disks. But for cloning NTFS partitions from XP you'll need Ghost v7 or higher SysOpt.com
