options. The Ghost User Migration Wizard helps facilitate this process by helping you copy files, folders, and settings from a source computer to a destination computer. You can run the wizard in a direct computer-to-computer operation, or you can save the settings and files in a package.
Ghost Standard Tools
Ghost for DOS
The Ghost executable (Ghost.exe) can create and restore images of computers.
Because the executable is small with minimal conventional memory requirements, you can run the executable easily from a DOS boot disk set or hard drive.
Ghost for Linux
The Ghost executable for Linux (ghost) runs natively in Linux and is identical in
appearance and imaging capabilities to the Ghost executable for DOS. Ghost for Windows
Ghost32.exe is a 32-bit version of Ghost.exe that runs on 32-bit versions of
Microsoft Windows Vista/XP/PE/2000.
Ghost64.exe is a 64-bit version of Ghost.exe that runs on 64-bit versions of
Microsoft Windows Vista/XP/PE.
Using Ghost32.exe or Ghost64.exe, you can create image files on hard
drives that are accessible from these operating systems, and communicate with the GhostCast Server.
Note: To create an image file of the boot drive using the Ghost Windows
executables, you must run Ghost in Windows PE. GDisk
GDisk is a complete replacement for the FDISK and FORMAT utilities that enables:
• FAT and NTFS file system formatting • Batch mode operation
• Hiding and unhiding of partitions
• Secure disk wiping to U.S. DoD requirements • Extensive partition reporting
Unlike FDISK, which uses interactive menus and prompts, GDisk is command- line driven and offers faster configuration of a disk’s partitions.
The following table lists the available GDisk versions:
Ghost Walker
Ghost Walker assigns statistically unique security identifiers (SIDs) to restored Microsoft Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT workstations. The SID is an important part of the Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT security architecture because it provides a unique identifier when a computer is networked.
The following table lists the Ghost Walker versions that are available:
Ghost Explorer
Ghost Explorer lists all of the files and directories within image files. On FAT, NTFS, and Linux file systems, you can also use Ghost Explorer to add individual directories and files to image files, as well as recover and delete directories and files from image files.
Ghost Boot Wizard
The Ghost Boot Wizard enables you to create boot packages. A boot package can be a boot disk, a Ghost image file, an ISO image, or a Preboot eXecution
Environment (PXE) image. Boot packages are used for cloning jobs, from creating a simple boot disk for GhostCasting to providing a boot image for use with PXE applications such as DynamicAccess boot services from 3Com or Microsoft Remote Installation Service. The Ghost Boot Wizard guides you to the drivers needed to create a boot package.
GhostCast Server
The GhostCast Server lets you deliver an image file to multiple computers simultaneously through a single IP multicast transmission. A multicast
transmission can minimize the impact on network traffic. The GhostCast Server sends and receives images to or from one or more computers. This method of delivery usually is faster than accessing a mapped network drive.
