Ghost 15 - Is it possible to use the copy disk/partition feature from the recovery CD?

I have read that Ghost 15 supports cold imaging from the recovery CD, i.e. without having to install Ghost on the computer. Does that include disk/partition copy (cloning), or only the creation of image files?
In other terms, can I clone a disk partition to another one when booted from the CD, or do I need to install Ghost on the computer to do it?

 

I used to do it with Ghost 8.2, but it doesn't support today's larger drive sizes (e.g. didn't work with a 1.5Tb disk).

 

Thanks.

semond05,

 

No, partition cloning is not available from the recovery environment. Ghost 15 is the first hot imaging Ghost that has supported creating images from the recovery environment.
