Limitations
of
Symantec
Norton
Ghost
When
Ghost
is
used
in
conjunction
with
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program,
certain
limitations
must
be
considered.
Cloned
drives
and
partitions:
Symantec
Norton
Ghost
can
clone
partitions
and
drives.
Because
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
uses
a
service
partition
to
store
the
Smart
Image
for
certain
types
of
installations,
Symantec
Norton
Ghost
might
encounter
problems
when
attempting
to
set
the
size
for
multiple
partitions
or
when
installing
a
cloned
drive.
When
defining
partition
sizes
as
a
percentage,
Ghost
always
uses
the
full
hard-disk
capacity
and
does
not
take
the
presence
of
a
service
partition
into
account.
As
a
result,
Ghost
might
delete
the
service
partition
on
the
target
computer.
Defining
absolute
sizes
can
be
equally
problematic
because
drive
sizes
vary
on
target
computers.
When
using
a
cloned
drive,
two
problems
can
occur:
v
If
a
service
partition
exists
on
a
source
computer,
Ghost
includes
this
service
partition
as
part
of
the
image
and
will
overwrite
the
service
partition
on
the
target
computer.
This
results
in
a
mismatch
between
the
contents
on
the
active
partition
of
the
target
computer
and
the
service
partition
of
the
target
computer.
v
If
a
service
partition
does
not
exist
on
the
source
computer,
Ghost
will
assume
that
it
can
use
the
entire
hard
disk
for
the
image,
and
will
delete
the
service
partition
on
the
target
computer.
Because
it
is
so
difficult
to
manage
multiple
partitions
and
cloned
drives
created
by
Ghost
when
a
service
partition
is
present,
support
is
provided
for
the
following
implementations
only:
v
Restoring
single-partition
images
produced
by
Ghost
v
Restoring
a
single-partition,
cloned-drive
image
as
a
single
partition,
not
as
a
cloned
drive.
The
Silent
Install
command
in
the
Source
tab
of
the
Operating
System
window
must
be
a
batch
file
name,
