You can get an overview of the nine modes of operation and their switches by
using the Help switch. The syntax for displaying help in GDisk is as follows:
GDisk.exe
C:\progra~1\symantec\ghost\gdisk /?
GDisk32.exe
C:\progra~1\symantec\ghost\gdisk32 /?
Note: An additional switch not shown is the /VERSION switch. This switch shows
the version information for the GDisk and GDisk32 executable.
More detailed Help is available by qualifying the Help command with the switch
for one of the nine main modes of operation.
For example, to view the detailed Help file for Hide, type one of the following
command lines:
GDisk.exe
C:\progra~1\symantec\ghost\gdisk /hide /?
GDisk32.exe
C:\progra~1\symantec\ghost\gdisk32 /hide /?
