XP - Imaging with ghost 6.5?

[mja78]

I'm trying to create an image of a Windows XP machine with Symantic Ghost 6.5. From what I've found, this isn't possible. Does anyone know of a work-around to get this to work.

Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

Make the ghost diskette. Boot to it. Create the image.
The image must be put somewhere other than the root of C:

The would work but the problem with Ghost 6.5 is that you can't see the NTFS partition that Windows XP is on. Any other suggestions? Thanks...

OOPS, sorry...got version numbers messed...
Ghost it over a LAN to a FAT 32 drive, then image it...might work...
The other option is to upgrade Ghost.

You will need Ghost 7 to READ NTFS, where you dump the file is irrelevant.

Note:

Symantec says at least version 7.5 for XP.

That's the conclusion I came to. I'll just have to upgrade. Thanks for the ideas though...

Howdy,

You need 7.5 to work with XP. Earlier versions do not work

Sorry to say so, but 7 does work to image disks in XP.

marcs41,

Version 7 will work with NTFS volumes. The concern is that the version does not reliably support the NDIS changes in XP for network access and had problems with secure folders.

Ah, that part may be so, I was referring to the part of creating an disk image, as that was mj78's question.
