These switches can be used with GHOST's command line mode in order to enhance the automation process. General Switches: -AFILE= | Override default abort log file with -DD | Dump disk metrics to GHSTSTAT.DMP -DFILE= | Override default dump log file with - (see -DD) -DI | Display diagnostics -E | Overcomes EA DATA.SF problems -F64 | Allow 64K cluster size when loading from old image files -FDC | Forces dongle check -FRO | Continue cloning even if source contains bad blocks -FNX | Force disabling of Extended INT13 calls if present -FX | Exit program when finished cloning -H | Display help on switches -IA | Image all - forces sector by sector copy -LPM | LPT Master -LPS | LPT Slave -MEMCHECK | Diagnostic memory dump for technical support issues -NBM | NetBIOS Master -NBS | NetBIOS Slave -OR | Override destination drive space limitations -QUIET | QUIET mode - no user intervention allowed or screen display -RB | In batch mode this forces automatic reboot after completion -SPAN | Turn on spanning -SPLIT=x | Split image file into x megabyte spans -SURE | Used in conjunction with -CLONE to avoid the final 'Proceed' question -SZEx | Controls partition sizes in batch mode -XINT13ON | Force use of BIOS Extended INT13 system calls if present -Z | Compress image file when dumping NTFS Specific Switches: -NTD | Enable NTFS internal diagnostic checking. -NTC | Enable NTFS contiguous cluster run allocation -NTN | Inhibit CHKDSK on NTFS volume boot -NTIL | Ignore non-empty NTFS Log File check (Inconsistent volume) -NTIC | Ignore the NTFS volume CHKDSK bit Command Line Syntax: -CLONE,mode={COPY|LOAD|DUMP},src={drive|file},dst={drive|file} -CLONE,mode={PCOPY|PLOAD|PDUMP},src={drive:partition|file:partition},dst={drive:partition|file} -CLONE,mode={COPY|LOAD|DUMP|PCOPY|PLOAD|PDUMP},src={drive|file},dst={drive|file},szen={F|V|nnnnM|nnP},sze{F|L} Some examples of batch cloning via GHOST's command line syntax: ghost -clone,mode=copy,src=1,dst=2 -sure - COPIES drive one to drive two in local mode without final prompt. ghost -nbm -clone,mode=dump,src=2,dst=c:drive2.img - CONNECT via NetBIOS to a GHOST slave running on a remote PC and DUMP a disk image of local drive 2 to the remote file C:DRIVE2.IMG. Note that the slave GHOST can be started with: ghost -nbs ghost -clone,mode=load,src=e:savdsk.img,dst=1 - LOADS the disk image file SAVEDSK.IMG file held on the network partition E: onto drive 1 of the local PC. ghost -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:2,dst=g:\imgs\part2.img - DUMPS the second partition of the local disk to an image file. ghost -clone,mode=pload,src=g:\imgs\part2.img:2,dst=1:2 - LOADS partition 2 from an image file onto the second partition of the local disk. ghost -clone,mode=pcopy,src=1:2,dst=2:1 - COPIES the second partition on drive one to the first parition on drive two. ghost -clone,mode=load,src=g:\imgs\2prtdisk.img,dst=2,sze1=60P,sze2=40P - LOADS a disk from an image file and resizes the destination partitions into a 60:40 allocation. ghost -clone,mode=copy,src=1,dst=2,sze1=F,sze2=V,sze3=V - COPIES a three partition disk and keeps the first partition on the destination drive the same size as on the source disk, but divide up the remaining space between the other partitions leaving no unallocated space. ghost -clone,mode=load,src=g:\imgs\2prtdisk.img,dst=1,szeL - LOADS a disk from an image file and resizes the last partition to its capacity. The first partition utilizes the remaining space. Please see the included GHOST.DOC for more detailed information on switches and their usage.
