From: David Chien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
L110, 20GB Hitachi, EZ-Drive 9.09, Ghost 2001
Verified: Boot to HD, wait until EZ-Drive is loaded, press F8 to bring up prompt to get into Command Line Shell. Start Ghost with -fni , see's all partitions and works perfectly fine for restore & backups.
w/o -fni, does not see partitions correctly with EZ-Drive loaded.
By, "w/o -fni, does not see...", I'm assuming you mean you ran 'x:\ghost' without any switches, and Ghost didn't report partition structres correctly. Right?
So that agrees with what I reported here:
http://www.technoir.nu/libretto/list/2003/msg02267.html
But since I posted that David, I've found that with EZ-Drive installed, >ALL< of the switches I've been looking at work fine on the 40GB HDD in my 70CT!!
In other words with EZ-Drive, Ghost sees all partitions correctly with:
No switch: Yes -ffx: Yes -fnx: Yes -fni: Yes
That drive only has 3 primary partitions, all FAT32:
C: Fat32 3GB Primary D: Fat32 5GB Primary * Unallocated 54.9MB Primary E: Fat32 30GB Primary
The tests I did in the post linked above was on my 20GB HDD that has 1 primary FAT32 partition, and 3 logical FAT32 drives:
C: Fat32 2549GB Primary (*) extended 12150GB Primary D: Fat32 5420GB Logical * Fat32 101MB Logical (Hibernation for 100CT) E: Fat32 6628GB Logical * unallocated 4369GB
So it seems which switch Ghost is going to work properly with depends not only on whether or EZ-Drive is installed on a drive, but also on the exact makeup of the partitions on the drive.
I guess I'm back to choosing the switch by seeing which one reports the partition structure best of the group. Or just stick to -fni when EZ-Drive is loaded per Symantec's advise, as I guess we all agree there.
