Title: HOW TO APPLY GHOST.GHO TO ALL PC
Post by: afzaldir on January 24, 2009, 06:32:31 AM

I make a file in my PC (DELL) with Norton Ghost. It was Windows XP Pro edition in XP.GHO. I used -fdsz switch for creating image and use High compress option. But Now I notice that I can't apply this XP ghost in Toshiba or IBM PCs. How can I do this? Mean to say I want to apply it to all PCs? Many times when I apply this Ghost file in another the Windows will Restart or make blue error at loading.

You cannot do this.

Reasons:

1. Not possible: PCs must be identical.
2. Mot legal: Windows licence does not allow.

That is expected. Windows installed on Dell, not work if copied to Toshiba. No can do.

Solution:

For each machine, pay for Windows licence, install fresh.
