You want to run Ghost32.exe in Windows PE 64-bit version.microsoft.com/download/5/b/5/5b5bec17-ea71-4653-9539-204a672f11cf/WindowsPE_tech.doc.

I tried different Flash Drives, 2GB, 4GB and 16GB, all are FAT32, one partition nothing else on them. _____________________ Intel i7 950 [200] BCLK x 20 = 4.0 GHz @ [1.4000] CPU Voltage & [1.35000] QPI/DRAM Uncore Voltage, Batch 3029A40 3 x 1GB G.SKIL DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) [DDR3-1691MHz] 10-10-10-24 @ 1.64 DRAM Bus Voltage ASUS P6T Deluxe v.1 [LGA 1366 Intel X58] BIOS 2209 Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366 RT with 120mm Scythe S-Flex F fan ASUS EAH4850 Radeon HD 4850 1GB DDR3 @ 625 MHz GPU & 1986 MHz Memory OCZ Agility 60GB SSD Asus Xonar DX sound card Antec nine hundred case, two front 120mm fans, one back 120mm Fan, one top 200mm fan Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W. Resolved: Older versions of Ghost simply do not work with newer chipsets. I tried these flash drives on an old AMD Athlon XP CPU using an nForce2 chipset and sure enough they showed up! So it works but only on older chipsets. I found Symantec Ghost 8.2 inside a Norton SystemWorks 2006 Recovery Disk boot CD: I386 SHELL GHOST F: iso2 I386 SHELL GHOST RESTOREGHOST.EXE Why did you say to rename the file to ghost32.exe?

It runs all by itself if you just move it anywhere and double click on RESTOREGHOST.EXE So the answer is, unfortunately, this program does not list USB Flash drives connected to newer chipsets. It only works if USB Flash drives are connected to older chipsets. Symantec Ghost 8.2 can image/reimage USB Flash drives whereas version 8.0 cannot.

Norton Ghost versions which followed all the way up to the 2011 version of Norton Ghost 15 also could not image USB Flash drives, only hard drives. Symantec Ghost 8.2 can apparently be found on the boot Recovery Disk CD of versions such as Ghost 10 and System Works 2006.

It's OK, I don't have any problems at all. For me, my versions of 'RestoreGhost.exe' only restore.

I would also be willing to guess thats why they are called 'RESTORE'Ghost. As in 'They only Restore Ghost images'. There is another one I have seen called something like 'OEMRestoreGhost'. It's the restore only version that they distribute with system images for recovery disks. The version of RestoreGhost in my scrrenshot is from Ghost 9 but I recall seeing some posts about people claiming to have the full version that allowed them to do both images and restores. Maybe there was 2 releases of Ghost 9? The fully working versions are normally called Ghost32.exe.

Dave The version of RESTOREGHOST.EXE on the Ghost 10 CD CAN create images. It is actually Ghost32.exe - version 8.2. I think it was put on the disc as a mistake.

It must have been a mistake that they included the fully working one in Ghost 10 because they never advertized the fact that it could make DOS based images as well as restore them. I think I mentioned once before that with all Asus EEE netbooks they distributed the fully working version of Ghost32 with the recovery disks to restore the factory image. I was pretty sure that was also a mistake because with all the versions of Ghost Solution Suite they have the crippled version that I assumed was supposed to be used with recovery images because all they need is the restore function.

'GhostOEM32.exe' is the name of the current one I think.
