problem with Norton Ghost 5.1 :(

[superraton01]

I want to copy my c: drive onto d:.
(c is a partition of the primary master, d is the whole, unpartitioned
secondary master). for source i enter
drive 1 (the first partion ) and for
destination Ghost gives me a choice of files.
I picked gbh127, which is the name of d:.
Ghost copied all of c: into a file in d:
that it called gbh127.gho. BUT since
gbh127.gho is a file (instead of a directory
with subdirectories) its useless to me.
To say this more clearly, I want to
copy c:\windows into d:\windows, I want
to copy c:\@home into d:\@home, and so on.
I do NOT want to copy everything into one giant file!
What am i doing wrong????? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

The .gho file is the image file of your C: drive. Just go back into Norton Ghost (dos mode) and apply the image (gbh127.gho) to your D: partition and it should be an exact copy of C: drive, file structure and all.

Actually, you won't be able to do that if you leave the image on D:. Ghost won't let you restore to the same drive that the image is on. You'll have to: Make an image of your C: to your D:, then move your C: image from your D: back to your C:, now restore C: to D:. In your terms...move the gbh127.gho to the C:, run ghost and do "local > partition > from image" select gbh127.gho as your image, then select D: as your target. There ya go! Carbon copy of your C: is now on your D:! Good luck!

Thanks for correcting me... I forgot about not being able to write to the same partition where the source (.gho file) is located.

Of course, you could simply use the disk to disk option in Ghost....which would save you a lot of time in creating the image file, transfering it back and forth, and so on.
