However, readily accomplishing either a Ghost "partition-to-image" Backup procedure or a Ghost "disk-to-image" Backup procedure while in the Ghost 8.2 mode can only be done in a Windows Preinstall Environment where the MASTER HDD is "not-in-the-loop". The other two instances took place in CD-based Windows Preinstall Environments (PE).Īdmittedly, successful Integrity Checks can be conducted in all three modes on Symantec Norton Ghost 2003 "disk-to-image" Backup sets comprised of 2GB *.gho and *.GHS files residing in either FAT32 or NTFS partitions on external HDDS. To expound on my original post above, let me clearly state that although I was using GHOST32.EXE ( aka RESTOREGHOST.EXE) in three different modes I was truly working in Windows XP - not DOS - in only one of them.

Tomorrow, I intend to perform a series of full-scale Norton Ghost "disk-to-image" Backup operations on the alternate NTFS partition of the 120GB Seagate IDE HDD mounted in the Bytecc ME-320U2 external enclosure kit. Working in the Ghost 8.2 mode described in (3) above, I completed a successful Norton Ghost "partition-to-image" Backup procedure this evening on my Iomega USB 80GB external HDD which is formatted solely FAT32. Essentially, I used components of Norton Ghost 8.2 derived from my Norton Ghost 10.0 CD to do so in the following manners: (1) booting from a ReatogoPE bootable CD in my CD-ROM drive, I merely opened RESTOREGHOST.EXE residing as a file on a CD in my DVD burner (2) booting from my MASTER HDD into XP, once again I opened RESTOREGHOST.EXE residing on the same CD residing this time in my CD-ROM drive and (3) booting from my Norton Ghost 10.0 CD, I performed the Integrity Check by following 'Recover > Recover Data on My Computer > Recover using a legacy Ghost image'. While working in XP - not DOS, I repeatedly performed successful Integrity Checks on a Ghost 2003 "disk-to-image" Backup set comprised of 2GB *.gho and *.GHS files residing in a FAT32 partition on the very Bytecc ME-320U2 discussed above.

Each of my six external enclosures cost less than $100 USD delivered, with five of those six costing less than $50.Īs to outfitting them, the incredible rebates on HDDs in recent months have allowed me buy a 60GB IDE Maxtor Diamondmax for $19, an 80GB IDE Western Digital Caviar SE for $20, a 160GB IDE Seagate Barracuda for $40, a 160GB IDE Maxtor Diamondmax for $59, and a 160GB SATA NCQ Seagate Barracuda for $70 (all prices after MIRs and excluding either sales tax on store price or shipping fees from online orders).Īlthough USB 2.0 is far from being my choice for linking a PC to an external HDD - whether "purpose-built" like my new Iomega 80GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive or an enclosure kit - the fact remains that a lot of folks either already have USB devices or have circumstances where USB is the only practical alternative.
I seemed to have inadvertently backed into a consuming hobby of mounting internal HDDs - both IDE and SATA - in external enclosure kits.
