Splitting an image file

You can split an existing image file into smaller spans. This function is useful if, for example, you need to split a file into two or more files that can then be saved onto a CD/DVD drive that is unsupported by Symantec Ghost. Once this option is set, it becomes the default for all regenerated files.

Note: If the CD/DVD drive is supported by Symantec Ghost, then you can save an image file directly to CD/DVD as it is created using Ghost.

To split an existing image file

1.

In Ghost Explorer, open the image file.

2.

Select an image file.

3.

On the View menu, click Options.

4.

In the Span split point (Mb) box, type the required size.

If you are splitting the file to save onto CD, then set the size to 600 MB.

5.

Click Autoname Spans if you want Ghost Explorer to choose a default name for additional span files that it creates.

6.

Click OK.

Once you have set the split options for the file you must compile it.
