Ghost and vista

There is a surprising lack of information on the subject of Vista and Bitlocker on Symantecs site in my surface searches. In intital testing and slightly expected with Bitlocker and Vista, Ghost will take the entire drive space. Prior to Bitlocker Ghost would only create an image from the drive space used.

With Bitlocker and Vista, it is apparently creating a 60 gig image. While that makes sense with what little truly know about Bitlocker. I have to wonder what is symantecs answer to handling Bitlocker.

This will render ghost completely useless for the function that we utilize it for. Posted Aug 03, AM. And no tools to manipulate it either. However, this is expected since it suppose to be used to achieve a very high level of security, which should be difficult if not impossible to break. Ghost This explains the large image size.

If you really need to do that for deployment purposes, consider wiping the disk before installing Vista. The key for us was having the HDD on one partition and everything matching up. Friday, December 22, PM. I don't have a problem at all getting it to work on teh 32 bit version of Vista.

I have Ghost working with a "virtual partition", that seems to be working ok in 32 bit versions of the OS but not with Vista x Does anyone have any tips or pointers? Tuesday, December 26, PM. You will need to get Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.

Friday, December 29, PM. Where did you get Ghost 11? Is it out yet? I can't find anything on Symantec's page to indicate it's out. Ghost 10 -- which has Corporate 8. Thursday, January 4, PM. Friday, January 5, AM. Ghost Solution Suite 2 contains version 11 of the Ghost cloning tool - we had to skip from 8. It was released in early December - you can find it at Symantec's Enterprise or Medium Business product pages.

The Ghost code in GSS2 will automatically deal with the BCD database when you restore, so no patching up with other tools should be necessary. With Ghost 10, there's that "recovery" CD that you can boot from and go into "restore from legacy disk image" to get into Ghost Corporate 8. Friday, January 5, PM. Monday, January 8, AM. Ghost solution suite 2. Monday, January 15, AM.

Hi, I've read this entire thread and there's a lot of good information here, but i am also a bit confused with all the products being thrown out to try. I'm wondering if someone could summarize what to try or do. Friday, February 2, PM. Well aside from all the programs and methods that are mentioned above, I think the cheapest way would be to use WDS. I would recommend this for you over ghost or other programs because it is easy and very cheap, especially for maintaining just one machine.

If I were a non-technical user I would ask; 1. What is WDS and where do I get it? What is ImageX or Ximage and where do I get it?

What is OPK tools and where do I get it? Where can get instructions for the above? Of course I'm a techie so I won't ask for myself, I'll ask for the non-techies out there Tuesday, February 6, PM. I believe that in ghost this can be accomplished through the options menu as well.

Forcing ghost to clone the boot sector. The command line is something like -ImageBoot or -ImageAll. Saturday, February 24, PM. I'm a newbie to Windows Cloning so : 1. Donnelly HP. I have received the final Version of Vista, but i need test how to clone it. This approach with Ghost 8. I am successfully Ghosting partitions and restoring them to alternate partitions and maintain the ability to successfully boot from them post-restore. So if there is something you can see that isn't working, I'm not immediately suspicious that it's "failing for RTM" versus just failing for some other reason, regardless of Windows Vista build.

Hi, Alan, I've visited a lot of forum posting my problem that maybe i'ts so simple for you, I'll appreciate if you can give my a hand with my issue. The machine that I want to ghost is 5GB data and booted and running ghost, the destination is my laptop on the network running XP. I have peer to peer connection already, but when I select the mapped drive and I start the ghost process I got the error message of not enough space Ghost says my Destination is only 2GB.

This was done on a spare 40gb drive and was to be transferred to a gb drive. After ghosting the gb drive, neither XP or Vista would boot and said I had to use the install disk to repair. Of course that did not work Did not want to redo the ghost image Wish I could code, would like a gui version of this to make life easy. I had used bcdedit to export the contents of my system store before the ghost. So I imported that while booted with a BartPE disk and still could not boot.

What finally worked is:. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I faced the same problem as you, but instead of solve it i still have it. I follow the instructions you provide and i made the following changes through CMD as administrator: remind that my own OS is on c hdd.

I took the ghost using ghost 8. There are two versions - store bought and Enterprise - 8. Is this where the confusion lies? I also installed XP Pro first into 1 partition and Vista Ultimate into another partition on the same drive - 4gb machine dual core however I couldn't get Gparted to work on the Dual core machine.

Thought I would share this - I thought I would see all 4gb of ram but I only see 3. Anyway - this is what I have experienced. I am having extremely frustrating problems with this and cannot get restoring an image to work based on everyones posts here.

I have 2 images with multiple or just 1 vista installation. Both images different versions of XP installed to. It will not boot into vista anymore.

This is even before creating the image. I also change the device and osdevice to "boot" for all other vista installations and get the same problem.

I have tried all recommended configurations on this thread with no sucess. What I do is restore the image and neither vista's or XP installs will boot which is fine. I then boot off the Vista DVD, skip the option where it asks if I went to let it automatically fix the boot problems.

I open a CMD prompt and change the bcd table back to the appropriate partitions. I can actually boot into all Vista installs with no problems. The problem occurs when I type in the password and it tries to load the profile. Instead of just saying "Welcome" as it loads, it follows with "Preparing your desktop. Multiple errors then popup such as missing tons of exe's, dll's, configuration is corrupt, blah blah. Also says it couldn't load the profile because it is "missing. I have wasted, pretty much, days on this.

I'm already putting in an order request for Ghost 2. Alan - You mention a "PE Boot Disk" - am green in this specific area, but have several ghost images in my lab that have already been made without the 'fix'. And therefore won't boot.
