Title: imaging/restoring problem with ghost 2002 Post by cham on Apr 15th, 2002 at 10:15pm
I have windows xp with ntfs partitions C,D,E and plextor 24/10/40 cdrw,ghost 2002
I tried to create a image of my c drive using pc-dos disk - well it stopped writing the cd after 2 -3 mins.(the system just hangs).tried diferent make cds, different speed -no luck. Later I tried with a ms-dos disk and rewritable disks-made a successful dump.But when i went to restore that , i couldn't see my cd rom drive listed so that , i can restore the image. Again i used another floppy made from ghost v 7.5 ,think it is a pc-dos disk, I got the option of my cd rom drives . Well what on earth is happening? Where is that I am going wrong? Is it my 1. OS?(I never had any problem ,when I used win98SE) 2.My cd writer? 3.the disks I use? 4.the boot disks I use? Can someone help me please? :'( :'( :'( :'( |

it sounds like u got it figured out now, no?
shouldn't be ur OS cuz ur working from DOS, right? Ghost just sees *files*, no OS. i don't write my images to cd, so i won't be much help to u .. but i can see that it looks like there are two diff boot floppies .. one for reading & another for writing: http://ghost.radified.com/screens/ghost_boot_floppy_wizard.gif u know this, right? i assume ur buner is found on symantec's 'approved' list? u have the latest firmware for ur writer .. no reader? if so firmware? i don't think u used w98 with ntfs file system. most ghost users who prefer ntfs keep one fat32 partition dedicated solely for ghost images. i think this would save u the grief ur experiencing. |

havent ever tried burning the image into a cd.
i simply partitioned my HDD into 2, one partition will reside my ghost image. however, last time i did ghost, i tried disk to disk copy (cloning if you may). when i hit the 'go' button (or whatever it is), progress bar wont progress at all. time elapsed stopped after 5 seconds and ghost will say it fail. still finding a solution to my problem. exactly the same pc. winxp both licenced copy. BTW, i am newbie here. nice site. keep it up. |
