  • 1.  Ghost 8.3 Command line assistance on a Restore

    Posted Nov 22, 2010 10:35 PM

     

    I have Ghost 8.3 with my company.  I am imaging a small tablet device (x 30 devices a day), These devices do not handle usb, keyboard and mouse well at all.  ( the fault is on the device)
     
    I need to use as little user input as possible.  I know that once I get the right string (command line) this process will be easy!
    This is what I have so far
     
    ghost -clone,mode=restore,src=c:\xp100419.gho,dst=2
     
    This works great, I get through all of the prompts except these 2 -
    See attached screenshots
     
    I think the only thing I am missing is Preserved Dest?  I have worked on this as far as I can understand can anyone please help finish?

    1. How are you imaging the device? What boot system are you using?

    2. Which drive and which partition are you trying to restore to?

    Its wierd, but this is how it is done.  We start with a Boot from a Windows 98 formatted USB stick and using a RAM drive or a virtual drive to show up as a C:\ drive.
    After Ghost is manually ran, I have to check and click my way through the ghost restore process.
     
    Once image restore is complete, I remove that USB stick, reboot and all is well.  The actual/local C:\ has WinXP installed on it, all needed apps, and it works great.
     
    The problem I have is that command line needs to cover the last 2 options. click I think ok and yes.

    Hi

    Have you tried using -sure -batch switches with above ghost command. Use the -sure switch in conjunction with -clone to avoid being prompted with the final question “Proceed with disk clone - destination drive will be overwritten?” This command is useful in batch mode.

    Thanks

    Unfortunately I cant check this until Dec 1, but it looks good to me, is this right?

    ghost -clone-sure,mode=restore,src=c:\xp100419.gho,dst=2.

     

    Thanks for your assistance, I will check it next week and let you know the result.

    put a space at the end of your current command line and then add the -sure to the end.   Each -command is seperated by a space.   So to do the -sure and the - batch it would look like this.

    ghost,exe -clone,mode=restore,src=c:\xp100419.gho,dst=2 -sure -batch.

     

    Good luck
