PDUMP Partition image filename (e.g, g:\images\part1.img).
Page 89 Appendix data space has been satisfied will be distributed between the destination partitions in proportion to the data usage in the source partitions Someexamples follow that will help illustrate: flag Exit. Normally when Ghost has finished copying a new system to a disk, it prompts the user to reboot with a press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot window.
