Please forgive me for posting this to this newsgroup but I could not
get an answer in the Symantec newsgroups. My problem is with the
speed Ghost 2003 (Running from PC-DOS floppy bootup) seems to be
writing to DVD+R disks. First my equipment.
XPHome-SP2 with all updates
OptoRite DD0401 Optical Drive with latest firmware upgrades
Latest version of Nero
Ghost 2003
Ghost Boot floppy autoexec.bat file has this:
SET TZ=GHO+5:00
MOUSE.COM
CD GHOST
GHOST.EXE -bootcd -ghostoncd -z2
The Optical drive has the ability to write to DVD+R disks at 8x speed.
I have been doing Ghost backups 4x disks because I had a 100 count
drum of 4x DVD+R disks. After running out, I purchased a drum of 8x
DVD+R disks. With the 4x disks, it always took around 1 3/4 hr to do
the backup on 2 disks. With the 8x disks, it takes the same exact
time.
Is there something I am missing? Any more command line parameters? I
just thought that I would be cutting my backup times in half or at
least shortening the time by going from 4x to 8x DVD+R disks.
Regards,
Ed
