Ghost 2003 and Vista RC1
I tried my ghost 2003 to clone a Vista drive.
It seems to work ok but when booting the new drive it comes up with a missing file. Didn't write it down but something like winload is missing.
It says boot to Vista cd , select language etc and choose repair.
Before it even gets to repair it detects the missing file and fixes it.
Then Vista boots fine.
So at least there is a way to clone a drive with Vista using currently available tools even if it is messy.
Just an fyi.
Still looking for a better working clone utility.
Anyone have one?

I've been cloning Vista successfully with Ghost 8.0 so I can't imagine it's a problem with Ghost 2003. Keep in mind that Vista may put the boot files on a different drive or partition than the main Windows drive.

Hmm. I'm not sure what version Ghost 2003 is.
I will look into getting a Ghost 8.0 and try it.
Curious as to whether ghost 8.0 has the feature that only works on one computer. Ghost 2003 lets you make copies without marking the drives enabling you to use it on different machines.
I am assuming you use Ghost from a boot disk and not from the Windows interface?

I use a bootable CDROM (that I created, not something produced by Ghost) with Ghost for DOS on it, and I'm using Ghost 8.0 because "It Just Works".

Not sure if it works with Vista, but I've had great luck with Clone Maxx
And it's freeware.

Ghost 2003 & Image a Vista Partition
I attempted to image a Vista Partition using a bootable Ghost 2003 disk. It initially booted and loaded the GUI however all of the choices/options were gone. Just the main gray screen. Anyone else have this issue? Would really like to be able to create an image of the partition as a system recovery disk.

Also what is the -fdsp switch? I did not see it in the Manual?

It is a boot Disk that I had created using Norton Ghost 2003 (when creating an Image of another machine).
