Anyone have experience cloning a Windows 95 HDD using Ghost 2003?

just try cloning the hdd by having them both in the same box and running ghost. then it's a 1 step deal and less foulable. should make a direct copy thats usable. be sure the proper jumper is selected on the new drive when you install it to be the primary boot device (a common oversight)

Try WinISO, I've made backups of my program cd's or dvd's this way.  It turns it into an .iso file which you can mount if you have daemon tools.\n\nhttp://ts.searching.com/torrent/232407/WinISO_5_3_and_Registration_Info\nhttp://ts.searching.com/torrent/538950/Daemon_tools_3_7

Ghost is a disk cloning program, originally produced by Binary Research, but purchased by Symantec in 1998. The Ghost program launched the market for disk-cloning software. The name Ghost originated as an acronym for "General Hardware-Oriented Software Transfer".\n\n \nSymantec Ghost 8.2Murray Haszard wrote Ghost in 1996, building on experience with a parallel and serial file-copying program previously produced by Binary Research. Initially, Ghost supported only FAT filesystems directly, but it could also copy (although not resize) other filesystems by performing a sector copy. Ghost added support for the NTFS filesystem later in 1996, and also provided a program, Ghostwalker (DOS name: ghstwalk.exe), to change the Security ID (SID) that made Windows NT systems distinguishable from each other. Ghostwalker is also capable of modifying the name of the Windows NT-based computer from its own interface. Ghost added support for the ext2 filesystem in 1999 and for ext3 subsequently.\n\nBinary Reseach developed Ghost in Auckland, New Zealand and, although a few functions (such as translation into other languages) now take place elsewhere, the main development and quality assurance remains in Auckland.\n\n\nVersions\nThe first versions of Ghost supported only the cloning of entire disks, but version 3.1 in 1997 allowed the cloning of individual partitions as well. Ghost could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition, or to an image file, restorable either to another machine or the same machine later. Ghost allowed for writing a clone or image:\n\nto a second disk in the same machine \nto another machine linked by a parallel or network cable \nto a network drive \nto a tape drive \nVersion 4.0 of Ghost added multicast technology (following the lead of a competitor, ImageCast). Multicasting allows sending a single image simultaneously to many machines without putting greater stress on the network than by sending an image to a single machine.\n\nThis version also introduced Ghost Explorer, a Windows program which allowed a user to browse the contents of an image file and extract individual files from it. Explorer as subsequently enhanced allowed users to add and delete files on FAT (and later on ext2 and on ext3) filesystems in an image. Ghost Explorer could extract files from NTFS images but not edit NTFS images. Ghost Explorer could work with images from older versions but only slowly; version 4 images contained indexes to find files rapidly.\n\nVersion 4.0 also moved from real-mode DOS to 286 protected-mode. The additional memory available allowed Ghost to provide several levels of compression for images, and to provide the file browser.\n\nIn 1998, Ghost 4.1 allowed for password-protected images.\n\nVersion 5.0 moved to 386 protected mode. Unlike the character-based user interface of earlier versions, 5.0 used a GUI. The Binary Research logo (two stars revolving around each other) played on the main screen while the program idled.\n\nGdisk, a scriptable partition manager, joined the growing suite of Ghost programs in 1998. Gdisk serves a role similar to Fdisk, but has greater capabilities.\n\nGhost 6.0 included a Console application in 2000 to simplify the management of large numbers of machines. The Console communicates with client software on managed computers to allow a system administrator to refresh the disk of a machine remotely.\n\nAs a DOS-based program, Ghost required machines running Windows to reboot to a DOS environment to run it. Ghost 6.0 required a separate DOS partition when used with the Console. Ghost 7.5 in 2002 created a 'Virtual Partition' instead - a DOS partition which actually exists as a file within a normal Windows filesystem. This significantly eased systems management. Ghost 7.5 also allows writing to as well as reading from an image of an NTFS partition. Ghost 7.5 could also write images to CD-R drives, and later versions can also write DVDs.\n\nGhost 2003, a consumer versio

Norton ghost is not suitable in your case because you only want to backup the data, not the whole harddrive. \n\nThere is a program is call SecondCopy which can do a scheduled automatically backup your data files into any other drive at the background. The program is small and very stable. \n\nYou can download from the below link\n\n\nd10v01b

you should use a laptop coverter to install as a slave on a nother computer.\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HD-108&cat=HDD\n\nthen you might need a data recovery software. here is a good free one it is called PC Inspector File Recovery\n\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html

Norton Ghost only makes a copy of your harddisk. it can not set right the boot problem.

I would have reformatted it. If you had a boot sector virus for instance, It will likely still be there.\n\nI use the wash utility found in webroot windows washer.\n\nYou can either install the hard drive as an extra storage drive and write zeros across it or you can make a floppy disk and boot to that.  In this situation you would only want the old drive plugged in as this is the drive you are to clean.\n\nWebroot windows washer is very easy to use. You can use the free trial to do this.  See link below.\n\nSo there is no confusion, I am an affiliate. I don't care if you  purchase it or not. I am simply  providing that link because the trials from my website are fully functional. If you get it from the website it just shows you what needs cleaning. \n\nSimply formatting or fdisking your computer DOES NOT ERASE ANYTHING.\n\nHope that helps\nNigel

For an exact, BOOTABLE drive copy, use Nortons GHOST..it works excellent, and is easy to use! If you dont want it bootable, just drag your main files over to the new drive for free...

You could use the file transfer wizard, but I need more details like:  What operating system are you using?  Do you have a network set up at home?  Do you have a dvd burner?  If you provide any details from the following questions I asked, I could definitely help you out.  Nice work by the way, I saw the 360 page.  I like the golden toilet seat!  LOL

You could do that. Or you could skip the middle steps and just install the new hard drive and OS on his PC then hook up his old hard drive to his PC.\n\nThis isn't a grantee it will work It sounds like there is something wrong with the Master Boot Record on his hard drive.  There are programs available for download that will scan hard drives and fix file system errors.  They usually cost ~ $30 to $80 per copy.\n\nGood Luck

I don't believe Windows 95 will work online my friend.Do an install of Windows 98 at least.

Does the other PC has got the same hardware configuration?? Is so...then U can use ghosting to copy an image of the old and then drop it on the new one! \nElse....Do u have the Product key from the original XP cd...if so...just get a hold of a XP media cd!\nHope this helps!

The best way will be use the HDD as slave to some other harddisk and tranfer the data.\n\nIn safe mode USB drives won't work, because there only the minimal resources are loaded. \n\nIf you can log into safe mode try restoring your machine to a previous stable point.

I have one that has os windows 95 running and another running 98 but they both have very little memory. If you would like one email me to talk about it.

The easiest way would be to take the hard drive out of the laptop and hook it up to another PC.  There's no need to buy anything extra if you've got an extra bay available.  \n\nHere's a good tutorial for it:\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_6030_install-second-hard.html\n\nWhen you're done copying, just unhook it from the data cables and power supply.  That's it.
