Cloning to or from another computer
Ghost does not support USB 2 connections for cloning to or from a second computer. Symantec Ghost 8.x, 7.5, and Norton Ghost 2003 supports USB 1.1 connections for cloning to or from a second computer.
Cloning to or from an external CD drive
Symantec Ghost 8.x and Norton Ghost 2003 support USB 1.1 and USB 2 connections for cloning operations for CD drives that are on the Symantec supported list. For information on this list, read the document Ghost 2003 compatibility with CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD drives.
Norton Ghost 2002, Symantec Ghost 7.5, and earlier Ghost versions do not support cloning over a USB connection to an external CD drive.
Cloning to or from a USB hard drive or other external device
Symantec Ghost 8.x and Norton Ghost 2003
Symantec Ghost 8.x and Norton Ghost 2003 support USB 1.1 and USB 2 connections for cloning operations that work with an external storage device such as an external USB hard drive.
For this type of cloning operation, use a Ghost Virtual Partition or the Standard Ghost Boot Disk. The option "USB Devices" is available only in the Symantec Ghost 8.x and Norton Ghost 2003 versions of the Ghost Boot Wizard.
Some problems using USB and FireWire in Norton Ghost 2003 were resolved in the November 1, 2002 update to Ghost. To prevent these problems, run LiveUpdate to update Norton Ghost 2003 to the latest version. Read the document Updates to Norton Ghost 2003. These problems are not present in Symantec Ghost 8.x.
Earlier Ghost versions
Symantec Ghost 7.5, and earlier Ghost versions do not support cloning over a USB connection to an external storage device.
Older Ghost versions
Symantec Ghost 7.5 and earlier cannot write an image file directly to an external USB device, such as a USB CD-R/RW drive. Ghost requires DOS drivers for accessing external devices, and most external USB devices do not have DOS drivers.
