Symantec Ghost 7.0
Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2003 9:53 pm
I used Ghost 7.0 to back up my entire C: drive (7gb). It took 11, 80 minute discs but I got it all.
1) Has anyone used Ghost successfully?
2) Does it rename all of your files to the DOS 8.3 format? It seems to be a DOS program that runs fine in Win98SE.
3) I tested my discs after I was done, and this is what occurred on all of them! Note the very beginning.
It seems to be ok, but I hope I'll never need to use it!
All 11 discs start out the same.
The discs are 16x PNY (Digital Storage Technology) that are Smart Burn rated @ 40x. I've confirmed 40x is 100% error free when burned in CloneCD & Nero. Ghost is proving to be another matter.
Any thoughts on this?
I tried it a second time with cheap unbraded generic blanks. Same result.
Obviously, Ghost affects the burn quality of the disc. But there's no way to control the burn speed in Ghost.
