Ghost How to use the Diagram Tutorial _ Application Tips

The installation speed of Windows is still a headache! Is there any easy way to reload the system? Of course, Ghost is one of the options.

Norton Ghost files are relatively small, as long as one main file Ghost.exe (Ghost 2002 only 600 KB) can work, a boot disk can be installed. Because it is a pure DOS program, it is recommended to make a startup disk and put the Norton Ghost on a floppy disk. We usually copy the ghost file to the boot floppy disk (U disk), you can also burn it into the boot disc, with the boot disk into the DOS environment, the prompt input ghost, enter can run Ghost, below, we take a step-by-step look at how to make a mirrored file and recovery system:

Press any key to enter the ghost operation Interface, the Ghost menu appears, the main menu has 4 items, from the bottom to the Quit (exit), Options (option), Peer to Peer (point-to-point pair, mainly for the network), local (locally). In general, we use only local menu items, the following three subkeys: Disk (hard disk backup and restore), Partition (disk partition backup and restore), check (hard drive detection), the first two features we use most, the following operation is explained around these two.

3, because the Ghost in the backup restore is by sector to replicate, so in the operation must be careful not to the target disk (partition) wrong, or the target disk (partition) of all the data wiped off very miserable ... There is not much chance of recovery, so you must be serious and careful! But you also don't be too nervous, in fact, the use of Ghost is very simple, understand the meaning of the words you will understand its usage, coupled with a serious attitude, you must be able to master it! Come together:

Second, the partition backup

Preliminary knowledge: Know the words
Disk: I don't have to say you know, the meaning of the disks;
Partition: That is partition, in the operating system, each hard disk letter (after C disk) corresponds to a partition;
Image: Mirrored, mirrored is a ghost file format that holds the contents of a hard disk or partition, with the extension. Gho;
To: In the Ghost, a simple understanding to is the meaning of "back to";
From: In Ghost, a simple understanding of from is "from ..." Restore "means.

(i) partition menu introduction

It has three submenus below:
To partion: A partition (the source partition) is copied directly to another partition (the target partition), and the target partition space cannot be less than the source partition when the operation is noted;
To Image: A partition is backed up as a mirrored file, noting that the partition that hosts the mirrored file is smaller than the source partition, preferably larger than the source partition;
From image: Restores the partition from the mirrored file (restores the backup partition).

(ii) Production of partitioned image files

1, after running Ghost, with the cursor key to the cursor from the "local" by "Disk", "Partition" to move to the "to Image" menu item, such as Figure 2, and then press ENTER.

Figure 2

2, the selection of local hard drive window, such as Figure 3, and then press ENTER.

Figure 3

3. Select Source Partition window (source partition is the partition you want to make it into a mirrored file), as shown in Figure 4:

Figure 4

use the top and bottom cursor keys to the blue light Bar to the partition we want to make the image file, press ENTER to confirm the source partition we want to select, and then click the TAB key to position the cursor on the OK key (ok key becomes white), as shown in Figure 5, and then press ENTER.

Figure 5

4, into the image file storage directory, the default storage directory is the directory of ghost files, the file name in the image of the filename of the mirror file, can also be entered with the path of file name (at this point to ensure that the path is entered exists, otherwise prompts illegal path), such as input D:\sysbak\ Cwin98, Cwin98.gho Save the mirrored file to the D:\sysbak directory, as shown in Figure 6, after the file name, and then enter.

Figure 6

5, followed by the "whether to compress mirrored files" window, as shown in Figure 7, there is "no (no compression), fast (fast compression), high (compression than compression)," the lower the compression ratio, the faster the save. General Select Fast can, with the right cursor direction key to move to fast, enter to determine;

Figure 7

6, followed by a prompt window, as shown in Figure 8, with the cursor direction key to move to "Yes", enter OK.

Figure 8

7, Ghost began to make a mirror file, as shown in Figure 9:

Figure 9

8, after the successful establishment of the mirror file, you will be prompted to create a successful window, as shown in:

Figure Ten

Return to Ghost interface;

9, press Q key again, enter after return can exit ghost.

At this point, the partition image file is finished! It's quite simple:).
