Setting up transfer methods

The following sections summarize the information you need to prepare
devices and drives for Norton Ghost operation.

Internal drives

To work with internal drives, ensure that each of the drives is properly
configured. This means that if fixed IDE drives are in use, the jumpers on
the drives are set up correctly, and the BIOS of the machine is configured
for the disks and setup arrangement. Both the source and the destination
drives must be free from file corruption and physical hard drive defects.

Local devices

To use Norton Ghost with SCSI tape devices, the tape device needs to have
an Advanced SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI) driver for DOS installed.
The driver is installed in the config.sys file as shown in the example below:
device=C:\scsitape\aspi4dos.sys
Refer to the documentation included with the SCSI tape device for further
details.
Use the following DOS command to copy the system files to the
formatted disk:
C:\> sys c: a:
Use the following DOS command to format and copy the system files
to the unformatted disk:
C:\> format a: /s
Copy GHOSTPE.EXE onto the boot disk. For example:
C:\> copy c:\GHOSTPE\GHOSTPE.EXE a:\
