Ghost's experience in using

Ghost is one of the must-have tools for computer gamers, especially for the installed family. I want to introduce some small "discoveries" when using Ghost for cloning between hard disks, and share them with everyone. The source disk and target disk in the text refer to different hard disks respectively.

1. Try to use the new version of Ghost
Different Ghost versions have very different performance and speed (this can refer to the related articles on the recent IT media). According to the author's experience, I suggest that friends try to use new ones. The version, such as Ghost2003, has made great progress in speed and support for NTFS.

2. When cloning some partitions of the source disk to the target disk, the target disk should not be partitioned first.
Assume that the source disk has three partitions A, B, and C. Now you want to clone the B and C partitions of the disk to the target disk. Friends may think that as long as the capacity of the two partitions of the target disk is not less than the data capacity of the two partitions of the source disk, the following method is adopted: first divide the target disk into two zones, and then select the partition from the partition to the partition. actually not. The actual situation is: cloning can only be successful if the two partitions of the target disk are larger than the two partitions of the source disk (sometimes larger).

The recommended method is to delete all partitions of the target disk before cloning (that is, the target disk is not partitioned), select "Partition to Partition" after running Ghost, and the source partition is the B partition of the source disk, and then Actually set the size of the first partition of the target disk, use it as the target partition, and then perform the clone. The same method can be used to clone the second partition.

With this method, even if the two partitions of the target disk are smaller than the two partitions of the source disk, the clone can succeed as long as it can accommodate the data of the corresponding partition of the source disk.

3. If the image file is located in the source disk, pay attention to the master and slave disk settings
Once I restore the image file in the source disk to the first partition of the target disk with Ghost, when the target disk is set to the first master When the disk and source disk are set to the second slave disk, the clone cannot continue. All the partitions of the source disk are grayed out, and the image file cannot be selected from it. When the source disk is set to the second master disk (the target disk position is unchanged, that is, it is still the first master disk), the clone can proceed smoothly.
