  • 1.  GSS 2.0 Images deployable in GSS1.1

    Posted May 22, 2007 02:40 PM
    Does anyone know if I take a GSS1.1 image edit it in GSS2.0 Image Explorer.
    Then can I deploy the image edited in GSS 2.0  using GSS1.1?
     
     
    The reason I ask is we have not updated all of our sites to 2.0 or 2.0.1, but I would like to edit an existing 1.1 image and still use it the 1.1 Sites?
     
    Thanks
     
    P.S. It has been a long time since I posted/replied to the forums - It has changed completely!
    At least now I can put an image in - cool! :smileywink:

    It depends on the filesystem in the image. 
    For NTFS editing, which is new in 2.0, there are changes to the image format which mean that 1.1 ghost.exe won't be able to deploy the image. 
    For FAT editing I think that 1.1 ghost should be able to deploy the image.

    Hi Mark,

    Good to have you around again!

    For NTFS images, it is not a very good idea. We recently found that if you use 1.1 to deploy an edited NTFS image, it may actually skip most of the edited content and the outcome is undefined.
