How to restore an image with Symantec Ghost software
Diy-Computer-Repair can help!
Restoring with ghost imaging software will save you hours of work!
On a
previous page I
showed you how to make an image of your hard drive. Here I will show you
how to do the restore!
Boot your computer from an external device, because you are restoring or
replacing the Boot Partition of the computer you don't want it running or the
process will not proceed.
Go to the storage drive and select the image file.
Next select the target drive, note there are two drives
here, one is the target drive (top) and the source drive (bottom). Becareful
you will over write the storage drive if it is a hard drive!
Proceed? This is your last chance to insure you are on the
correct drive, look as the white writing at the lower half of the screen, it
tells you about the image file and the target drive.
Progress indicator, this drive was being imaged from an
external USB hard drive, it is slow because the port on the target computer
is a ver 1.1 USB port, very slow.
Image now on the target drive, you can restart now or shut
down the system and remove the external drive if it is a bootable device.
Restart and Enjoy!
If the image is fairly new then your data restore from your back up should go
quickly. If the image is pretty old and you had installed software programs
since the image was made you will have to reinstall those also. The idea is to
make an
image when you feel there has been significant changes to your software
programs.
