Because Ghost has the function of cloning a whole hard disk, when restoring the backup, Ghost will re-target the target disk according to the partition ratio of the cloned hard disk. Assign and copy files. If it is a new hard disk, it will be automatically formatted in advance. According to the above principle, you can use a partitioned formatted hard disk as a "template" (the hard disk does not contain any files), use Ghost backup and restore to the new hard disk, so that you can quickly format the large hard disk partition. Specific practice: find a hard disk of any size, format it with Fdisk, Format according to the proportion of the partition you want to partition the large hard disk, be careful not to install any files on it; then start with the boot disk with Ghost program Computer, run Ghost, use the "Local-Disk-To Image" command to mirror the hard disk that has just been formatted into a piece of software, save this file on the boot disk (don't worry, this file should be small), and give a name Such as myfdisk.gho; Next, make a DOS batch file on the boot disk (editable with the edit command), the content is: ghost.exe-clone, mode=load, src=a:myfdisk.gho, dst=1, Save it as a bat file and give it a name like myfdisk.bat. In this case, which hard disk should be formatted in the future, use this boot disk to start the computer, and then execute myfdisk.bat. It takes less than a minute, no matter how big the hard disk can successfully complete partitioning and formatting. If you want to change the partition ratio, just modify the myfdisk.bat file. If you divide 4 areas and want to change the ratio to 1:3:3:3, just modify myfdisk.bat to read: "ghost.exe" -clone,mode=load,src=a:myfdisk.gho,dst=1,size1=10P,size2=30P,sze3=30P,sze4=30P”.
