  • 1.  Direct cloning with Ghost 2.5.1

    I haven't used Ghost since Ghost 2003 so things have changed a lot. I need to clone the drive of a stand-alone desktop to another drive on the stand-alone desktop. I know Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5.1 is more designed for large jobs but there has to be a way to use it for a small job here and there. I have been searching for a how to or something with no luck. I need assistance quick as the drive is going bad and it has special data and configurations on it. Last time it had to be rebuilt it took over a week of installing and configuring programs.

    I would recommend creating an image to another drive such as a USB-connected drive and then restoring from that image. If the source drive is failing then focus on backing up any important data first.

    It would be worth you reviewing the switch options before you start, in case you need to use any of them to capture any unusual boot block configurations, etc.
