Restoring the Image with partitions using Ghost32 on non partitioned hard disk

by Chintamani
(Pune, Mh, India)

Hi Monte,

Your Articles on creating and restoring images using Symantec's Ghost32 are very useful and I created image following your guidelines. However I would like to get advice from you on a particular scenario before restoring.

I was having 80GB Hard Disk for my Lenevo T61 with two partitions. I now want to replace it with 500GB Hard Disk from the same vendor.

My company has installed a company std image on the new hard disk while giving it to me. It has only one partition with 500GB space.

Will this create a problem while restoring my image having two partitions of 40GB each?

Thanks and Regards,

Chintamani

Hard Drive replacement

Hello Chintamani,

Where do you have your images stored?

If you have an external hard drive and a bootable device such as a pen drive or cd that you can boot the computer from you could make an image of the company partition on the new drive.

Using Ghost you can then make the first partition on the 500 GB drive smaller and put the image of the company partition back on the drive.

Don't forget to make that partition active or it will not start.

Once you have completed that from the OS make two more partitions on the hard drive, put your images on the new partitions. (Be sure to make Primary partitions when using the Drive Manager).

Once all the partitions are made then you can set up a Dual Boot option and use your older OS.

Next you can use what is left of the hard drive for data storage.

One thing you need to be careful of is the number of drive letters you will be using such as:
C: D: E: F: (and the CD/DVD drive letter). When you are at work how many network drive letters do you use?

Is this what you were looking for?

Hope this helps ...
