Ghost compatibility with dynamic partitions
Situation:
You want to know whether Ghost supports Windows 2000 dynamic disks.
Solution:
Norton Ghost 2002, Norton Ghost 2003, Symantec Ghost 6.5 Enterprise Edition, and Symantec Ghost 7.0 and 7.5 can clone basic disks, and dynamic disks that have simple volumes or mirrored volumes.
* Earlier Ghost versions are not compatible with dynamic disks.
* Ghost does not support dynamic disks having spanned, striped, or RAID-5 volumes.
* Ghost does not support the use of a Ghost Virtual Boot Partition on a computer that has a dynamic disk, regardless of whether the dynamic disk is the boot disk. To use the Ghost Console to manage a client computer that has a dynamic disk, use a Ghost Boot Partition on the client computer. Alternatively, start the Ghost client computer from a bootable floppy disk and use Ghost Multicast rather than Ghost Console.
* If using Norton Ghost 2003 to clone a dynamic disk, first apply the available fixes to the program by running LiveUpdate. See the document {Updates to Norton Ghost 2003.}
To clone a basic disk
"Basic disk" is the term used in Windows 2000 and Windows XP to indicate that the disk is not a dynamic disk. That is, a basic disk does not include simple, mirrored, spanned, striped, or RAID-5 volumes. To clone a basic disk, run Ghost as usual.
To clone a dynamic disk
The best way to use Ghost to clone a dynamic disk is to perform a partition-to-image cloning operation and not a disk-to-image cloning operation. To clone the entire disk, perform a partition-to-image operation and select all partitions on the source disk.
Partition-to-Image
Ghost supports creating a partition image of a dynamic disk for both simple volumes and mirrored volumes and restoring that partition to a basic disk. Ghost does not support restoring a partition to a dynamic disk.
To clone a simple or mirrored volume, run Ghost normally. Ghost will detect the simple and mirrored volumes and will save the contents of the volume as a non-dynamic partition. After restoring the image to a basic disk, use the Windows 2000/XP Disk Management MMC utility to convert the partition to a simple or mirrored volume.
NOTE: Because Ghost cannot restore a partition image to a dynamic disk, you cannot use this process to convert a dynamic disk to a basic disk. If you want to restore a partition image to a dynamic disk, you must first convert the disk to a basic disk.
Disk-to-Image
Because you can select all partitions on the source disk when performing a partition-to-image cloning operation, a disk-to-image clone is necessary only in unusual circumstances, and is only applicable for backup purposes. For Windows 2000/XP to access the dynamic disk on the restored disk, the image must be restored to a drive with exactly the same geometry. In practice, this means the image can only be restored back to the same disk.
Use a disk-to-image operation only as a last resort. Note that the process is considerably slower than a partition-to-image process, and that the resulting image file will usually be much larger.
To perform a disk-to-image cloning operation on a dynamic disk, run Ghost with the -IA switch on the Ghost command line, such as
Ghost.exe -ia
Ghost supports creating a disk image of a dynamic disk only when using the -IA switch on the Ghost command line.
Partition-to-Partition
Ghost supports cloning a partition from a dynamic disk to a basic disk for both simple volumes and mirrored volumes. Ghost does not support cloning a partition to a dynamic disk.
After cloning simple volume or mirrored volume to a basic disk, use the Windows 2000/XP Disk Management MMC utility to convert the destination partition to a simple or mirrored volume.
Можно, конечно, попробовать разделить диски RAID 1 на два раздельных диска, отключить один из них и подключить к какому-либо другому компу, который не знал бы его как компонент RAID-массива. Возможно, в этом случае и удастся его сконвертить назад в Simple. Но, скорее всего, эта опция будет неактивна. Ну а если прокатит... Попробовать поставить его на место основного винта и грузануться...
Одним словом, экспериментировать надо. Запасшись еще одним винтом
