Norton Ghost

[Gianluca Facca]

I cloned my image (ewf ram protected) by Norton Ghost and if I execute
ewfmgr: -disable it return me the 87 error.
I know that I can use commitanddisable, but if I delete ewf partition before
cloning disk, does anything change or not?

You don't need ewf partition at all. So you can delete it anytime.
Or you can follow guidelines I have provided, they are available now at
xpefiles, that will allow you to skip FBA creation of EWF temporary
partition.

So question if you can delete ewf ram temporary partition is rather
obsolete, since THERE IS NO EWF PARTITION! It is not required.

Assuming you are doing a disk clone with two identically sized drives...When
your ghost boot disk starts up...exit ghost and return dos. Then start
GHOST back up, but this time specify the "-IR" command line option. That
will cause GHOST to make an exact duplicate of the drive and it allowed my
RAM and DISKed based EWF systems to work.
