Enable EWF After Norton Ghost Restore

I look for a Solution to clone a XP embedded Image with EWF enabled!1:1 Copy from the Harddisk!My Steps are:- I build a Runtime Image with the Target designer- I copy the Files to the Target System- I start my Target System at FBA start - I wait until the Messagebox "Maschine resealed!Click OK to reboot" and then I clone my Image with Northon Ghost!- Now I can clone this Image on every Target System with the same Hardware!- But I must install all my other Software after this Process- What I want is a Image with my hole Installation that I can clone on ever Target System and the Image shoud be so small as possible I mean without the EWF Partition because Ghost cant compressing the EWF Partition and after the cloning I have no access to the EWF Partition!I checked and the EWF partition is there. When I run "ewfmgr c:" I stillget: Failed getting protected volume configuration with error 1.Is it posible to build the EWF partition after I install my other Software because if I make a Image of my hole Harddisk with EWF Partition is enabled it is very large and it doesn t work!mfgDietmar

First off, I use XPe SP1 with RAM-based EWF deploying to HD's so I can'tspeak for CF. I'll leave that to others... ;-)I have done this with Ghost but it wasn't a off-the-shelf retail version ofGhost. To make a VERY long story short, search old posts about this since Iknow some time back I explained how I do this. The key with Ghost is theswitches SZEE and FDSP. From what I recall, these switches did not work inGhost V6.5 or V7.5 but I haven't tried it in a while. Maybe some one cancorrect me on this. For example, I create a ghost image of my master diskthat has had fba run, all my other 3rd party s/w applications loaded, andthe EWF partition. Then when I deploy, I use the following bat file:ghost -clone,mode=load,src=cae2_v4,dst=1,szee -fdsp -batchThe key after ghosting when having cloned the EWF partition is that the EWFwill be enabled. You need to do a -commitanddisable and reboot. This willdisable the EWF so that you can tweak further.Also, look into the PowerQuest products since I think that this s/w can alsoclone the EWF partition.I know that people say that RAM-based EWF still works with no EWF partitionbut there are caveats. I like to disable, enable, and commit whenever Iwant, and my deployment process allows this.HTH... Doug"Dietmar" wrote in messagenews:145301c38375$af311e70$a001...@phx.gbl...

I run a similar situation. Here is what I do:1- Use target designer to set up OS image. I am using EWF disk based and Iset TD to NOT start EWF. I also set TD to not reseal the system You set thecmiResealPhase to 0. Many documents on MSDN and newsgroup on how to dothat. Set other cmiXxx values to control what happens on reseal.2- Check and build the image and copy to hard drive.3- Put hard drive into target device and let it boot. System will go throughmost phases of FBA.4- With EWF still OFF, I install my application and get the system justperfect. I then enable EWF. ewfmgr c: -enable shutdown -r5- I test my application as this is how the end user will be using it (EWFEnabled, etc)6- Once I am happy with my system, I need to reseal it. But to reseal it,EWF has to be disabled. So I run this batch file (SYSTEM_SEAL.BAT): copy d:\XPE_Components\fbreseal.exe d:\MyApp /Y copy d:\MyApp\SimplyFile.txt d:\MyApp\RunOnce.txt ewfmgr c: -commit d:\MyApp\FBResealBy the way, I copy fbreseal from another scratch directory to insure itexists because I may have to run it more than once. And when you runfbreseal.exe - the file gets deleted.7- Once that runs, fbreseal.exe will display a dialog box saying it is ok toreboot. I click "Ok" and wait for the BIOS screen. When I see my BIOSscreen - I cut power.8- Disconnect HDD and take it to another PC that has two IDE controllers. Iconnect my master drive to IDE0 and my target/destination drive to IDE1. Ithen boot off a floppy disk set to run Norton Ghost 2003. Here is thecommand I use to auto-clone. Not that you have to use the "-IR" to assurethat the EWF partition gets cloned correctly. GHOST.EXE -IR -CLONE,mode=COPY,src=1,dst=2,szeE -SUREI have also turned off all confirmations.9- Most important....on startup the systems will go through the last phaseof FBA (assing unique SID, etc). Unless you committ those changes via EWF,it will do that on every reboot. So I have a startup batch file that looksfor the RunOnce.txt file copied above: if not exist D:\MyApp\RunOnce.txt goto SkipRunOnce ewfmgr c: -commit erase D:\MyApp\RunOnce.txt shutdown -r -t 0 exit :SkipRunOnce10- So when each cloned drive is booted, FBA finishes and the system rebootsone more time and then is ready to go.As an alternative, I could have had the SYSTEM_SEAL.BAT file go ahead anddisable the EWF and then have the startup batch file re-enable it. 6 ofone - half-dozen of the other. I like having EWF enabled so that it providemaximum protection.By the way - since my application doesn't need to update the registry or C:drive files, After the ":SkipRunOnce" above, I have: ewfmgr c: -restoreso that on each reboot, things go back the way they were when I ship theunits.For all EWF systems - put swap file on non-protected volume and make sureauto-defrag is OFF.Good luck,Scott

Marley's Ghost provides the terrifying example: this is all Scrooge has to look forward to if he continues to live without involving himself in mankind. The ghosts that follow reveal to the reader the psychological reasons for Scrooge's warped character, but they are also messengers from Scrooge's unconscious mind forcing him to confront repressed disappointments and failures of kindness; he is rewarded for standing up to the pain of confrontation with the balm of self-pity. As the various ghosts of Christmas Past; Present, and Future enable Scrooge to confront the truth about his own life, a subtle transference takes place: Scrooge shifts from self-pity to compassion and concern for others. He is reborn in love.

If it is a dream ghost, that and the fact that the subsequent adventures all happen after Scrooge has fallen asleep would support an argument that A Christmas Carol is not any of the genres I have mentioned but rather a dream vision, like The Divine Comedy or Piers Plowman, or many another medieval text. As in those, so in A Christmas Carol, the hero falls asleep, has many wonderful adventures, and wakes a changed man. 2ff7e9595c
