NTFS and Ghost

Hi,

If I convert my FAT32 drive into NTFS will I still be able to use Ghost to backup? I will be booting from a floppy to start ghost through DOS. I think NTFS prevents this, not sure? If so, is there a newer version of Ghost that allows usage through Win2K?

Thanks,

Doohsam

as cwp stated, yep, this is no problem.
You can see this at => http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?ProductID=3

The only thing not supported is using Dynamic drives, so you shouldn't convert your drives to Dynamic, just leave them as Basic drives.

Oh yeah... dynamic disks. Then again I haven't used ghost on them, but I did with drive image/partition magic; they don't wanna touch those disks as well.
Ghost-ing NTFS also requires/recommends the -NTIL parameter.
