Norton Ghost 1

[24Peaches]

I would like to know how do I use Norton ghost step by step how do I use Norton ghost to transfer all my files from my Western Digital 20 gig HD to my new 60gig Maxtor HD.

System Specs:
win98
AMD 900mhz
DVD
CDRW
256DDR

Does it matter which one of these are Master/Slave when installing the DVD & CDRW?

You're probably looking at replacing the drive? You'll need to clone the drive. What version of ghost are you using? ~ Whether you think you can or can't, you're right. Henry Ford~

ares69 is right.... we need to know what version of ghost you have?
also what OS are you trying to clone?
if you are trying to clone Windows XP or a NTFS partition made by XP you need at least ghost 2002.

Karmic I stated in the question above that I had a new drive already and the OS was win98. I am using Norton Ghost version 5.1...

Firewolfrl thanks for the site. I tried making a image of my drive, but it said not enough space, enable spanning.
Dumpfile size 2443 & 162mb available

Steps:
local-> disk ->to image -> select source -> file to copy image to (cdrw f->enter name to give image (C_18Feb)date created -> click save -> press enter -> compression (fast)
-> proceed with partition (yes)

your error is that you were trying to copy to a CD-Rom drive.(Can not be done)
Ghost 5.1 doesn't copy to CDRW drives (ghost 2000 and later)
slave the 60 gig to the 20 gig
you need at least 2 partitions on the 60 gig.
The second partition is where you will put the ghost image of the 20 gig. it can be a logical partition of 20 gig.(your primary would be 40 gig)
you cannot copy an image to the same partition you are making it from.

make sure they are Fat32
