  • 1.  Restore .gho backup to bootable USB flash drive?

    Posted Dec 03, 2010 04:28 PM

    I have an old .gho backup with windows XP on it, and I'm considering using the latest ghost solution suite to restore it (my old version of ghost 2003 isn't new enough for it.)

    The catch is that like I'd like to restore it to a bootable USB flash drive.  Is this possible?  e.g. Is a USB device a valid target for restoring a backup?  Or are there other possibilities that might take a couple more stages?

    Thanks.

    In the GSS 2.5 you can restore to a usb drive.  .

    Depending on the way the drive is seen by the system it may or not be bootable.   I have restored the Ghost physical partion built from the ghost boot wizzard and saved in GHO form to a usb drive and then was able to use that as a ghost client boot disk.   It was kind of cool.

    Cheers.
