Hi,
Note: Ghost 11.5 does not support a USB Keyboard or Wireless USB Mouse (at least not on my Dell Dimension 8200) not sure how to get around that except to have old style keyboard and mouse around. Also a note to forum admins: I still do not get email notifications of replies and all the options in my profile are correctly set. Hi, Any external USB HDD, USB Stick are not detected by Ghost, Ghost only visable SATA disk and virtual ghost disk(X), and it`s impassiblle do it image using Ghost, after add USB driver to boot.wim (from win7, XP,VISTA - not available): iusb3hub.sys,iusb3xhc.sys, ofcorses using AIK v1.0 to XPSP2,Vista, using command PEImg problem presist.

Norton Boot Usb
I merely a user, not a technician just to take a correct option of the 4 available according to the User's Guide within 186 pages, as it is compiled by technicians for technicians. Hence, I have to ask how to just make an image of the whole C:/ disk to retain its ability to boot after I have prepared a disk of the same size (80 Gb) or even doubled 160 Gb.
Norton Ghost Usb Boot Disk
Which switch option should I preferably take in my case? The description is too much wordy and specific to understand for me. There are 4 options available.

I allow me to cite here the User's Guide:
-ia The image all switch forces Norton Ghost to perform a sector-by-sector copy of all
partitions. When copying a partition from a disk to an image file or to another disk,
Norton Ghost examines the source partition and decides whether to copy just the files and
directory structure, or to do a sector-by-sector copy. If it understands the internal format
of the partition, it defaults to copying the files and directory structure. Generally this is the
best option. However, if a disk has been set up with special hidden security files that are in
specific positions on the partition, the only way to reproduce them accurately on the
target partition is through a sector-by-sector copy. If you use this switch to create an
image of a dynamic disk, then the image must be restored to a disk with identical
geometry.
-ib The image boot switch copies the entire boot track, including the boot sector, when
creating a disk image file or copying disk-to-disk. Use this switch when installed
applications, such as boot-time utilities, use the boot track to store information. By
default, Norton Ghost copies only the boot sector, and does not copy the remainder of the
boot track. You cannot perform partition-to-partition or partition-to-image functions
with the -ib switch.
Command-line switches 159
-id The image disk switch is similar to -ia (image all), but also copies the boot track, as in -ib
(image boot), extended partition tables, and unpartitioned space on the disk. When
looking at an image with -id, you see the unpartitioned space and extended partitions in
the list of partitions. The -id switch is primarily used by law enforcement agencies that
require forensic images.
When Norton Ghost restores from an -id image, it relocates partitions to cylinder
boundaries and adjusts partition tables accordingly. Head, sector, and cylinder
information in partition tables is adjusted to match the geometry of the destination disk.
Partitions are not resizeable. You will need an identical or larger disk than the original.
Norton Ghost does not wipe the destination disk when restoring from an -id image.
Geometry differences between disks may leave tracks on the destination disk with their
previous contents.
Use the -ia (image all) switch instead of the -id switch when copying partition-to-partition
or partition-to-image. An individual partition can be restored from an image created with
-id.
