Situation:
You want to use Ghost to copy one disk to another disk on the same computer. You plan to use the second drive in one of the following ways:
- As the primary drive on the computer.
- As the primary drive on a different computer.
- As a backup of the first drive. You plan to remove the second drive from the computer and keep it in storage.

Solution:
Ghost refers to this function as a Disk to Disk clone. The disk you copy from is called the source disk, and the disk you copy to is called the destination disk or target disk. The entire contents of the source disk, including partitions and unpartitioned space, overwrite the entire contents of the destination disk.
 

1. Create a Ghost bootable floppy disk.
2. Ghost boot floppy

   download both files, run floppy image

   then select the ghost.imz file to create your there

   • Floppy Image.exe
   • ghost.imz

3. After the Norton Ghost Boot Disk boots up, the Norton Ghost splash screen will be presented. The license number as shown in the red circle is needed later so I wrote it down (it's not needed later with Norton Ghost 2003). I've purposefully blurred my own license number in the picture, as if the picture is crisp enough that you could have read it anyway. It's not that I don't trust you, you understand. Clicking "OK" causes the Norton Ghost Boot Disk to bring up the next screen. Norton Ghost 2003 begins by prompting for whether or not the drives should be marked as usable by Norton Ghost, to which I selected that they should be. The following three overlaying menus are presented, one at a time, beginning with the leftmost menu. Clicking "Local" on the leftmost menu brings up the middle menu. Clicking "Disk" on the middle menu brings up the rightmost menu. Click "To Disk" on the rightmost menu. The prompt for the license number appears. The license number as shown on the earlier page must be entered. Seems a bit silly that it works like this, but whatever. In fact, this prompt was removed in Norton Ghost 2003. Clicking "OK" brings up the next screen.

    

4. Boot the computer using the Ghost bootable floppy disk. This automatically starts Ghost.
5. Click OK when the Ghost screen appears.
6. On the Ghost main menu, do one of the following:
   • Local: Click Local > Disk > To Disk.
   • Peer-to-peer connection: Click Peer to peer > Disk > To Disk.
7. In the Source Drive dialog box, select the source disk.
   The Source Drive dialog box shows the details of every disk that Ghost.exe finds on the local computer.
8. In the Destination Drive dialog box, select the destination disk.
   Choose carefully as this is the disk that will be overwritten.
   If a peer-to-peer connection method is used, the destination disk can be any of the slave computer's disks. However, if this is a local disk-to-disk copy, then the source disk is unavailable for selection.
9. Click OK.
10. When the "Proceed with disk clone?" prompt appears, do one of the following:
    • Click Yes to proceed with the disk cloning.
      The system performs an integrity check of the file structure on the source disk, and then copies the source disk to the destination. If you need to abort the process press Ctrl+C, but be aware that this leaves the destination disk in an unknown state.
      Ghost now copies the source disk to the destination disk. When done, Ghost displays a window that indicates the process has finished.
    • Click No to return to the menu.
       

      ---

      WARNING: Only click Yes if you are sure that you want to proceed. The destination disk is overwritten with no chance of recovering any data.

      ---

11. Click OK. This returns Ghost to the Ghost main menu.
12. Click Quit.
     

    ---

    WARNING: Do not shut down or restart the computer at this time.

    ---

13. Remove the floppy disk and turn off the computer.
14. Physically remove the source or destination drive from the computer, and then restart the computer. The hard drive that was removed can then be installed on another computer, as long as the other computer does not already have another hard drive installed as the Primary Active drive.
15. Restart the second computer and ensure that the second hard drive boots up correctly.
