ghost-019

По завершению вы увидите такое сообщение. Нажмите Continue:

ghost-020

Теперь можно нажать на Quit и перезагрузить компьютер кнопкой RESET.

Внимание! Имейте в виду, для создания полноценной резервной копии Windows 7 или Windows 8.1 создавайте образ не только раздела с самой операционной системой (на примере которого написана инструкция), но загрузочного раздела, если такой имеется на диске. Резервная копия последнего вам также может пригодиться.

Загрузочный раздел Windows7 занимает 100MB. Загрузочный раздел Windows8.1 занимает 350MB.

Восстановления раздела (диска) из образа

1 В главном меню программы нажмите Local.
2 Выберите пункт Partition.
3 Выберите From Image, что означает «из образа»:

ghost-031
4 Вверху в поле Look In выберите локальный диск, содержащий ранее созданный в программе Ghost образ раздела.
5 Найдите нужный файл образа. Он должен иметь расширение *.GHO. Нажмите на нужный файл мышью для его выбора (кнопку Open нажимать скорее всего не придётся):

ghost-032
6 Выберите исходную партицию в образе. Нужно нажать на неё мышью, даже если она в списке одна.
7 Нажмите ОК:

ghost-033
8 Выберите физический диск, на который будем восстанавливать партицию.
9 Нажмите ОК:

ghost-034
10 На выбранном физическом диске выберите партицию, на которую будем развёртывать образ (Другими словами — нужно выбрать партицию,, которую вы хотите «восстановить» или «перезаписать»).

Page 8: How Norton Ghost Works

Chapter 1: About Norton Ghost Personal Edition partitions, Norton Ghost positions each partition or logical drive on the target disk using the same rules as FDISK, copying the partitions on a ﬁle- by-ﬁle basis. An image ﬁle can be stored on a CD, Superdisk, JAZ or ZIP drive, or other removable media.
Page 9: Save And Load Image Files To And From Removable Media

How Norton Ghost works Norton Ghost usage, both the source and destination must be free from ﬁle corruption and physical hard disk drive problems prior to cloning. Note: When cloning an entire hard disk drive, the existing partition conﬁguration is overwritten and need not be set in advance. Internal transfer operations are one of the fastest methods of cloning, and offer a simple quick hard disk drive backup or migration tool.
Page 10: Clone Hard Disk Drives And Partitions Peer-To-Peer

Chapter 1: About Norton Ghost Personal Edition For restoration purposes, once the device is working and has a drive letter, Norton Ghost can use that drive to perform the required task. Clone hard disk drives and partitions peer-to-peer Peer-to-peer connections are typically used when there are two computers that you wish to connect.
Page 11
How Norton Ghost works These components can be loaded from a boot disk to allow Norton Ghost to use NetBIOS to communicate and clone between master and slave. Master Crossover Ethernet Cable Slave Using the parallel (LPT) port With two computers and a parallel data transfer cable (not provided with Norton Ghost) you can clone two computers, master to slave.

Page 39: Managing Image Files

Managing image files Managing image ﬁles Norton Ghost can create an image ﬁle that contains all the information required to recreate a complete disk or partition. Image ﬁles are a useful way to store and reliably compress images of model system conﬁgurations, or to create backup copies of complete drives or partitions.
Page 40: Image Files And Crc32

Chapter 3: Using Norton Ghost Image ﬁles and CRC32 Cyclic Redundancy Checking (CRC) is a data error checking technique. CRC ensures that the original data that was written to the image ﬁle is the same as the data that is being used from the image ﬁle. The 32 value in CRC32 indicates the CRC technique uses a 32-bit value to store error checking information.
Page 41
Managing image files Spanned image ﬁles Spanned image ﬁles are similar to size-limited multi-segment image ﬁles. The difference is that each segment ﬁle (or span) of the image ﬁle is limited by the actual volume size of the media the image is being saved to. This allows you to specify a drive and ﬁlename and let Norton Ghost sort out when to request another volume or location for the remaining data.
Page 42
Chapter 3: Using Norton Ghost If you select compression and there is still a possibility of insufﬁcient space, the following message displays: If spanning is not enabled, an error message displays: Before starting to save the disk contents to the image ﬁle, Norton Ghost displays the source and destination details and gives you a chance to back out.
Page 43: Image Files And Tape Drives

Managing image files The screen below shows how Norton Ghost will prompt you for span set disk one and for subsequent volumes. How to load from a spanned image When loading a disk or partition from an image ﬁle, the process is the same as loading from an unspanned image ﬁle.
Page 44: Viewing Image File Content And Selective File Restoration

Chapter 3: Using Norton Ghost When using tape drives with Norton Ghost, the tape drive can be selected as the source or destination device in the File Locator window. Each SCSI tape device is shown as MTx, where x is a number starting at 0 and increases incrementally for each drive present.

Page 47: Appendix A Norton Ghost Command-Line Switches

Norton Ghost command-line switches Norton Ghost can be run: Interactively with no command-line switches Interactively with selected switches The Norton Ghost command-line switches are used to alter Norton Ghost’s behavior and automate procedures. To list Norton Ghost’s command-line switches, type: ghostpe.exe -h.
Page 48
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:2,dst=g:\part2.gho -fcr -aﬁle=ﬁlename Overrides the default abort error log ﬁle (ghost.err) to the directory and ﬁle given in ﬁlename. -autoname Automatically names spanned image ﬁles during creation. Avoids the user prompt asking for conﬁrmation of the next destination location for the remainder of the image ﬁle.
Page 49
Command-line switches MODE={copy | load | dump | pcopy | pload | pdump} MODE deﬁnes the type of clone command: copy — disk-to-disk copy load — ﬁle-to-disk load dump — disk-to-ﬁle dump pcopy — partition-to-partition copy pload — ﬁle-to-partition load pdump — partition-to-ﬁle dump SRC={drive | ﬁle | drive:partition | @MTx}…
Page 50
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches dump Disk image ﬁlename, for example g:\images\system2.img. If using a tape drive set to @MTx(x=0…). pcopy/pload Destination partition, For example, 2:2 indicates the LOAD second partition on drive two. pdump Partition image ﬁlename e.g, g:\images\part1.img:2. SZE{E | F | L | n={nnnnM | nnP| F | V}} SZE is used to set the size of the destination partitions for either a disk load or disk copy operation.
Page 51
Command-line switches Rule 2: If the destination disk is smaller than the original source disk (but still large enough to accommodate the data from the source disk), the free space left over after the data space has been satisﬁed will be distributed between the destination partitions in proportion to the data usage in the source partitions.
Page 52
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches dst=1,szeL -CRC32 The -CRC32 switch allows making a list of the ﬁles on a disk or partition, or in an image ﬁle with CRC values for each, and to verify that list against the original or a clone.
Page 53
Command-line switches dcreate Create an ASCII CRC32 ﬁle from an image ﬁle. dverify Verify an image ﬁle from an ASCII CRC32 ﬁle. Examples of -CRC32 usage To create a CRC32 ﬁle (called ghost.crc) while making an image ﬁle: ghostpe.exe -fcr To create a list of ﬁles and CRC32 values for a disk: ghostpe.exe -CRC32,action=create,src=1,crcfile=ghost.crc To verify the list against an image ﬁle:…
Page 54
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches Same as previous but specify the disk, CRC ﬁle, and list ﬁle. This example uses disk 1 as the source drive, myﬁle.txt as the ASCII CRC32 ﬁle, and myﬁle.out as the veriﬁcation list ﬁle. To verify the contents of the primary drive against a CRC32 ﬁle: ghostpe.exe -CRC32,action=verify,src=1, crcfile=myfile.txt,vlist=myfile.out,vexcept=myfile.exc…
Page 55
Command-line switches Files speciﬁed before the ﬁrst [Partition:x] heading will be used to match ﬁles in any partition. A directory of * matches any subdirectory, regardless of nesting. The above exclusion ﬁle will match any ﬁle with an extension of .1 in any subdirectory on the second partition.
Page 56
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches Norton Ghost. This switch may also assist when tape drives are incorrectly reported as drives. Valid values for number are 128 to 255. -f32 Allows Norton Ghost to convert all FAT16 volumes to FAT32 volumes when the destination partition is larger than 2047 MB in size.
Page 57
Command-line switches Displays the ﬁngerprint details written on a hard disk drive created by Norton Ghost. The ﬁngerprint displays the process used to create the drive or partition and the time, date, and disk the operation was performed on. -fnf Disables the creation of a ﬁngerprint when cloning hard disk drives or partitions.
Page 58
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches 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.
Page 59
Command-line switches main menu. See “Peer-to-peer connections” on page 18, for more information. -lps LPT slave mode. This switch causes Norton Ghost to automatically go into LPT slave mode, and is the equivalent of selecting LPT Slave in the main menu.
Page 60
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches Ignores the NTFS volume CHKDSK bit. Norton Ghost checks the CHKDSK bit on a NTFS volume before performing operations. When Norton Ghost indicates the CHDSK bit is set, we recommend running CHKDSK on the volume to ensure the drive is in a sound state before cloning.
Page 61
Command-line switches Override. Allows the override of internal space and integrity checks. Use of this switch should be avoided. -pwd and -pwd=x Speciﬁes password protection to be used when creating an image ﬁle. x indicates the password for the image ﬁle. If no password is given in the switch Norton Ghost will prompt for one.
Page 62
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches Skips ﬁles as outlined in the skipﬁle.txt ﬁle. For example, the skipﬁle.txt contains: *\*.tmt [partition:1] \windows\ *\*.exe [Partition:2] *\*me.txt This would skip all *.tmt ﬁles on any partition, the windows directory and any *.exe ﬁles on the ﬁrst partition, and any ﬁle that ended with the me.txt on the second partition.
Page 63
Command-line switches Sets the ASPI driver to report a read/write as successful only when the data has been transferred to the physical medium. Useful when using older or unreliable tape devices or sequential media. -tapespeed=x Allows control of tape speed. Where x equals 0 to F. 0 is default, 1-F increases tape speed.
Page 64
Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches -z or -z1 low compression (fast) -z2 high compression (medium) -z3 thru -z9 higher compression (slower)
Page 65: Appendix B Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions When I compare the contents of the original source disk to the disk Norton Ghost created there is a difference in the number of ﬁles. Why? In addition to ﬁles skipped using the -skip switch, some temporary ﬁles are not included when cloning a FAT volume.
Page 66
Appendix B: Frequently asked questions Can Norton Ghost compress an image ﬁle? Yes. Norton Ghost includes several levels of compression that offer a range of performance and storage gains. After cloning and restarting Windows 95, Windows 95 keeps ﬁnding a new NIC card.

Клонирование жесткого диска с помощью Norton Ghost

Здравствуйте Друзья! Тема статьи — клонирование жесткого диска. Инструмент, с помощью которого мы будем это делать — Portable Symantec Norton Ghost. Что такое клонирование. Это создание точной копии всегожесткого диска или раздела на другой жесткий диск или раздел. Это необходимо для переезда на новый, более емкий диск (или SSD) дабы избежать установки операционной системы, драйверов, программ, не настраивать интернет и все остальное и, следовательно, не тратить гору времени. Другое дело когда Windows на старом диске работает не стабильно, тогда да. Переустановка — отличный выход. Если же система на старом диске работает отлично, можно потратить пол часа на клонирование жесткого диска и все. Как это сделать читайте далее или смотрите видео в конце статьи.

1. Готовим загрузочную флешку для клонирования

Почему будем загружаться с USB девайса? Потому что на многих компьютерах (например в моем домашнемстационарном компьютере) и ноутбуках (в домашнем ноуте не работает привод) нет приводов для чтения оптических дисков. В нетбуках их никогда не было. Зато разъемы USB есть, были и будут. Поэтому клонирование жесткий дисков универсальнее будет производить загрузившись с флешки.

Для начала нам необходимо скачать USB Flash boot to DOS.7z

2. Клонируем жесткий диск (создаем образ)

Вставляем подготовленный накопитель в компьютер и перезагружаемся.

Для клонирования или создания образа (имиджа от слова Image — образ) нам необходимо загрузиться с него.

Это можно сделать двумя способами. Или выставить загрузку с USB в BIOS или запустить меню загрузки Windows и единоразово загрузиться с USB девайса.

Меню загрузки, на подопытном компьютере, вызывается нажатием клавиши F9 при перезагрузки компьютера. На домашнем компьютере вход в меню загрузки осуществляется клавишей F8. Методика входа такая же как и при входе вбезопасный режим (F8). При загрузке несколько раз нажимаете F9(F8) и попадаете в меню загрузки.

Выбираем USB Device и жмем Enter

Загрузочное меню Windows XP SP3

Загружается Volkov Commander. В левой панели выбираем файл ghost.exe и Enter

О программе Ghost для клонирования жестких дисков

Попадаем в главное окно программы клонирования HDD — Ghost. Можно управлять мышкой, но удобнее стрелочками на клавиатуре. Выбираем Local или нажимаем на клавиатуре стрелочку вправо.

Главное меню Ghost программы для клонирования и создания образа

Открывается меню из трех пунктов: Disk, Partition и Check. Если необходимо клонировать целый диск или создать образ всего HDD выбираем Disk. Если будем работать с конкретным разделом выбираем Partition. В нашем случае мы создадим имидж системного раздела. Выбираем Partition

Выбор раздела или целого диска для клонирования

Если вы будете клонировать раздел со старого жесткого диска на новый, то, раздел куда вы будете клонировать должен быть больше по объему чем клонируемый. Это важно!

Далее у нас открывается еще одно меню с вариантами: клонировать раздел в раздел, создать Image из раздела и восстановить раздел из имиджа. Если вы подключили два жестких диска, то можно сразу клонировать раздел в раздел — To Partition. В нашем случае создадим образ из раздела — To Image

Выбор действия с разделом или диском

Выбираем диск с которого будем клонировать или создавать Image. На рисунке представлены два диска. По столбцу Size(MB) можно без труда определить кто из них кто. Выбираем жесткий диск и жмем ОК

Выбор диска для клонирования или создания образа

Выбираем раздел который вы хотите клонировать. В нашем случае создавать имидж. Выбираем первый системный раздел и жмем ОК

Выбор раздела для клонирования или создания резервного образа

Если вы клонируете раздел в раздел, то вы будете выбирать диск и раздел куда вы хотите его клонировать. В нашем случае, мы выбираем на какой раздел сохранять Image. Norton Ghost дает возможность выбрать любой раздел кроме того с которого мы будем снимать образ.

Сразу может быть не понятно какому разделу какая буква относится. Метод тыка выручает.

Выбор расположения образа создаваемого при клонировании

Когда мы определились с разделом на котором у нас будет записан имидж мы задаем имя. Рекомендую поставить дату и обозначить буквой Image какого раздела содержится в этом файле. Расширение можно не указывать. Сохраняем — Save

Задаем имя образа для удобства

В случае создания имиджа, можно выбрать сжатие. Рекомендуется выбирать Fast

Выбираем сжатие образа при создании. При клонировании hdd или разела такого нет

Для запуска клонирования или создания имиджа нажимаем Yes

Процесс запуска клонирования жесткого диска выглядит так же

Окно Volkov Commander. Выходим и из него

Затем перезагружаем компьютер и вынимаем USB накопитель.

Image системного диска у нас создан. Теперь его можно развернуть на новом HDD или использовать как бэкап на черный день.

Заключение

В статье про клонирование жесткого диска рассказал вам самый на мой взгляд простой способ это сделать. Плюс! С помощью Symantec Ghost можно сделать Image раздела или всего диска целиком, тем самым решив вопрос с резервными копиями. Этот образ можно развернуть на любом жестком диске.

Если у вас уже есть новый HDD и вам необходимо переехать, то клонируем сразу без посредников. Это будет быстрее чем читать и записывать на один и тот же диск. Основной момент. Раздел нового диска на который вы будете клонировать должен быть по объему больше раздела источника.

Видео «Как клонировать жесткий диск» в котором покажу как создать образ раздела и развернуть его на другом диске.

Вы приобрели новый жесткий диск. Что делать дальше? Можно переставить систему и все программы с нуля, затем перенести данные на новый диск. Но часто на это просто нет времени или возможности. Как вариант – сделать полную копию диска.

Мы рассмотрим два возможных случая

Исходный диск в порядке.
Исходный диск работает плохо. На нем появились бед-блоки, он медленно работает, плохие показатели S.M.A.R.T

1. Копируем исправный жесткий диск.

Существует много разных программ, предназначенных для копирования информации диск-в-диск. Например, Acronis True Image, Paragon Drive Backup, Aomei Partition Assistant и многие другие.

Мы рассмотрим одну из самых старых программ для клонирования – Symantec Ghost (ранее Nortn Ghost). Чтобы создать копию диска с помощью Symantec Ghost достаточно загрузить компьютер с флешки или CD-диска, на которую записана программа, и запустить мастер клонирования.

После запуска программы нам необходимо выбрать, что мы собираемся делать. Можно создать образ всего диска, образ раздела диска, произвести запись из образа или скопировать диск в диск. Нам в данном случае нужно последнее. Выбираем:
Local -> Disk -> To Disk

Затем перезагружаем компьютер и вынимаем USB накопитель.

Заключение

Возникнут вопросы, пишите в комментариях.

Благодарю, что поделились статьей в социальных сетях. Всего Вам Доброго!

Мы рассмотрим два возможных случая

Исходный диск в порядке.
Исходный диск работает плохо. На нем появились бед-блоки, он медленно работает, плохие показатели S.M.A.R.T

1. Копируем исправный жесткий диск.

Выбираем диск, который мы будем копировать.(Select local source drive by clicking on the drive number). В нашем случае это Kingston 120Gb.

Далее помечаем диск на который копируем (Select local destination drive by clicking on the drive number). У нас это Toshiba 1Tb.

Будьте внимательны! Если у Вас несколько дисков одинакового размера во избежании ошибки лучше отключите лишние. Вся информация на этом диске будет потеряна!

Нажимаем OK. Если новый диск больше старого, программа сама пропорционально увеличит размеры разделов на новом. По своему желанию их можно изменить.

Опять нажимаем OK и проверяем что у нас правильно выбраны диски. Source – откуда копируем, Destination – куда копируем.

После этого нажимаем OK и процесс клонирования запуститься. Программа выводит сколько прошло времени от старта программы и показывает сколько примерно осталось до конца. Время копирования зависит от скорости диска и от объема информации.

По окончании необходимо выключить компьютер и отключить диск-источник. Иначе при первом запуске может возникнуть ситуация когда Windows потеряет пути с каталогам временных файлов или swap-файлу и не сможет загрузится.

Стартуем с нового диска, убеждаемся, что все работает.

2. Копируем жесткий диск с проблемами чтения.

Часто покупка нового жесткого диска обусловлена очевидными проблемами со старым. С такими дисками программы типа Symantec Ghost справляются не всегда. Выручит нас копирование из под ОС Linux.

Для начала скачаем образ диска, например, Ubuntu 16.04.

http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04.2/ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

Запишем образ на DVD или USB-диск и загрузимся с него.

Переключимся для удобства на русский язык и нажмем на кнопку “Запустить Ubuntu”

Через 2-3 минуты система загрузится

Нажмите на клавиатуре клавишу со значком Windows или щелкните мышкой по значку Ubuntu в левом верхнем углу экрана.

Запустим терминал.

Копировать диск мы будем с помощью программы ddrescue. Сначала установим ее.

Чтобы скачать ddrescue в терминале введем следующую команду:

sudo wget http://www.hamishmb.altervista.org/files/Downloads/ddrescue-gui/1.7.1/Trusty/ddrescue-gui_1.7.1~trusty-0ubuntu1~ppa1_all.deb

Запустим установку:

sudo dpkg -i ddrescue-gui_1.7.1~trusty-0ubuntu1~ppa1_all.deb

Далее необходимо узнать имена дисков, которые нам назначила операционная система:

sudo fdisk -l

sda – сбойный диск, который будем копировать, sdb – диск на который будем копировать, sdc – USB-диск с которого мы загрузились.

ddrescue [параметры] infile outfile [mapfile] [параметры]

infile и outfile могут быть устройствами, разделами или файлами. mapfile – это обычный файл, который должен находиться в существующей директории. Если файла нет, программа создаст его.
Всегда используйте mapfile – это может сэкономить много времени так как без него ddrescue не сможет продолжить остановленное, зависшее, не до конца завершённое копирование, а сможет только заново его начать .

ddrescue -f -r 3 /dev/sda /dev/sdb ddrescue.log

-f или –force – принуждает ddrescue перезаписать диск outfile. Необходим, когда в качестве outfile используется устройство.

-r n или –retry-passes=n – задает количество повторных попыток чтения поврежденных областей, по умолчанию – 0.

Более подробно параметры запуска можно посмотреть командой ddrescue -h
