If you want to use Norton Ghost 2003 to create an image of a PC's
primary partition you will find it has 2 serious limitations:
1- The USB support driver they use (from Iomega) can only be
installed in USB1 or USB2 mode (not both), and it is not universal
- it didn't recognize my external USB IBM mobile HD .
2- You can't create a Ghost bootable CD - only a floppy. How can
you clone a newly bought laptop, most of which don't have a floppy
anymore?
Here's How to:
1- create a Ghost floppy with USB support (1 or 2 - it won't matter
later)
2- download 2 files kxlrw40an.exe and mhairu.zip

lrw40an.exe

From the first file (Panasonic driver for a USB CDRW) you will need
the file usbaspi.sys found under "F2H" sub directory after
extraction of the downloaded archive. From the second archive you
need di1000dd.sys
3- Copy these 2 files to the USB folder on the Ghost floppy, and
delete any other files in that folder. Also delete the file
guest.exe from the floppy's root.
4- And finaly:
edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file - delete the line: guest.exe
and edit CONFIG.SYS - delete all entries and enter:
device=usb\USBASPI.SYS /v /e /o /u
device=usb\Di1000dd.SYS
LASTDRIVE = Z
That's it. You can now boot with this floppy and have full USB
support so you can create the image on an external USB drive.
If you want to create a bootable CD you can use Nero:
Choose to create a "CD-ROM (boot)" from the wizard, under Boot tab
leave the default "bootable logical drive: as A:\ . Insert your
Ghost floppy to the drive, drag all the files from the floppy to
"New compilation" and burn. You now have a bootable Ghost CD that
even Symantec doesn't have..
