the last version of Norton Ghost to support DOS? I've got a LPT CD-RW en route (actually an IDE drive and a 5.25 box with parallel connection to support it), but really need to figure out which version of Ghost will backup files to it using DOS 6.22. Need it in the new/old job of backing up pick & place data (already have it backed up to Zip drive and the network, but CD-R would be more reliable---and a LPT CD drive could be used for lots more than just backups) |

The Norton Ghost 2003 bundled with my USB HD supported DOS, but i cannot remember mention to LPT Burners. (BYOD, Bring Your Driver)
P.S. The Da#¡!ed thing almost trashed my computer instead of backing it up. (now the CD is a pretty coaster) |

I remember a version at a former job that did burn to one, but forgot which version it was. It's biggest problem was figuring out the correct partition size... |

if the usb drive has a letter, can you install the driver from a floppy and then use FILECOPY from the diskm,anager flioppy?
if not you may be stuck
I have a fhost thet runs from a win 98 boot floppy but I don't hink it will see a usb or parellel drive
\
if it's dos based long filenames will be lost |

I'm not working with anything USB. I'm trying to backup an IDE drive (on some SMT Pick & Place equipment running off of 386's/486's using DOS only) to a parallel-port CD-R. I already have it backed up to Zip, but I'd like to start using CD-R instead. I've got the drivers for the CD-R to be recognized in DOS, just need something to do packet-writing in DOS as well. |
