Okay. Pc running NT4 Server (Need the safety of a Ghost Image)
Disk 0 Primary Partition
C: FAT16 2047MB
D: FAT16 996MB
E: FAT16 1090MB
Disk 1 Logical Drive
F: NTFS 4142MB
G: NTFS 4565MB
I want to GHOST from NTFS Partition (G) to Image on FAT 16 (E) but cannot see anything other than the Floppy A Drive when it comes to selecting DESTINATION.
Is this down to the fact that I am running Symantec Ghost 7.0 and am trying to select a FAT16 Destination ?
Can I SAFELY convert from FAT16 to FAT32 and resize clusters to 64KB
Wibble.

I have read a few things that don't fill me with confidence.
Vers of Symantec Ghost prior to 2003(Thats Me) do not allow you to Image/Write Images TO Destination NTFS Partitions
You Can image FROM NTFS partitions but (Prior to 2003) destination HAD to be FAT32
Windows NT 4 supports FAT16 NOT FAT32
No DOS versions up to and including 6.22 do NOT support FAT32. Converting these Operating systems will make them UNBOOTABLE
WTF - Is this to say that I cannot Ghost a machine with two drives one NTFS and one FAT16 ?
