I have Norton SystemWorks 2003 installed on a W98 system that is not connected to the internet. I never installed the Ghost 2003 component until recently when one of my hard drives crashed. It seems to work but some questions have come up.
1. The disk being saved to an image file has a little over 4GB of data and Ghost saves it as a gho file and two ghs files, all with the same date. The gho file has the destination name that I provides but the ghs files are named Ghost001.ghs and Ghost002.ghs. When I save again on a later day (with a different destination file name), new gho and ghs files are created but the ghs files are again named Ghost001.ghs and Ghost002.ghs with the then current date so the earlier ghs files appear to be deleted. Even so both saved images pass image integrity verification. I haven't actually tried to restore from an image but am concerned that only the last image is any good. The User's Guide mentions a -cns option. Is this something that I should be adding to the command line under the Ghost Command Line option? Are my earlier saved images actually junk?
2. I gather that updates are (or were) available for Build 793. I've hunted for a build number and can't find one. I'm wondering if this is because Ghost is running under SystemWorks (I think that Ghost was also sold as a seperate product). So how do I tell what build I have? A quick look at the installed program shows Ghost files as recent as 8/14/02 3:56PM.
3. The update procedure involves the internet and LiveUpdate. I tried LiveUpdate from this computer and it only updates installed components. As the system where Ghost resides is not connected this is of no help. I could install Ghost here but I'm also getting indications that the updates aren't available any more. Even then, moving the updated program from this system to the W98 system seems messy, if it will work at all. Is there a workaround or is this something that I should forget about?
