========================================
1. List of changes in Norton Ghost 2003 Update 3
========================================

Improved Disk Drive Overlay (DDO) support
-----------------------------------------
Support for users with Disk Drive Overlays has been improved in
this release. If you are using Norton Ghost 2003 from a boot disk,
and your hard drive came with a DDO loading disk, we still
recommend that you use this to load the DDO before using Ghost.

Restoring NTFS images with very fragmented or compressed files
--------------------------------------------------------------
A fix is included for the problem of corrupted MFT when you
restore NTFS images with very fragmented or compressed files.
This includes the -ntexact command-line switch. See Section 6,
Additional switches.

Updated Linux boot loader support
---------------------------------
The Linux boot loader support has been updated to support newer
versions of LILO, and to support GRUB.

Location of virtual partition
-----------------------------
The virtual partition cannot be located beyond the accessible
section of the HD, which could prevent an older machine from starting
the operating system in some cases.

Sorry: I have the Dutch version of Windows; but the screenshot will show you at least the version number

 

Thanks to the poster notmentat at DSLR (and other posters there ) for the heads-up !

On a strictly personal note:

Alas, I'm in no way an expert on Ghost; far from that
To be frankly: I simply have to admit that I've hardly been able to use it
That could very well have been caused by lack of knowledge on my side (!!!), or maybe by a very old, cheap SCSI-card on my W98SE system....


Anyhow, I know very well that there are lots and lots of users of Ghost who are very happy with it !!!
That's why I wanted to post this update

 

Does this new update mean that I need to make a new boot disk or will the old one still work OK and be able to take advantage of the new features. Sorry I'm not an expert on Ghost but I do use it and like it.

 

Hi Stevie,

Alas, I'm in no way an expert on Ghost
But you might read some postings at that thread at DSLR:

There was something written about your question there

 

Thanks for the reply FanJ.
