I recently had to rebuild my PC software environment  (Windows Media Center 5), and Ghost 10.0 no longer works.  I have tried Symantecs techinical support, which proved to be fruitless.

I get the following error messages from Ghost 10.0:

Description: Error EC8F1780: Cannot successfully reconcile changes since last session. Error EC8F1771: Cannot enumerate the current drives on this system. Error EC8F03EC: Cannot initialize the Storage Management Engine. Error E0BB000D: Device \\.\PhysicalDrive2 LBA 625142447 is beyond the end of the drive.
Details: 0xE0BB000D
Source: Norton Ghost

After running the partition analysis, I detached all the external storage devices.  I get slightly different messages (see below),but Ghost 10 still does not work.

Description: Error EC8F1780: Cannot successfully reconcile changes since last session.
Error EC8F1771: Cannot enumerate the current drives on this system.

jackal,

You haven’t mentioned whether you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Ghost 10. That’s what I’d do and after uninstalling I’d use the Norton Removal Tool if you have no other Symantec products.

TOOL


If that doesn’t help you could consider restoring a Ghost 10 recovery point taken prior to the software changes when Ghost 10 was working properly. Are the software changes easy to redo? Have you changed your partitions?

I had reinstalled Ghost several times, but no with the tool.  I tried the tool and reinstalled ghost, but I still have the same problem.

I thought you might had been there. Is restoring an image practical for your system? That's how I get myself out of trouble.

Restoring an image is not possible, since I have changed motherboards.  This was the reason I ended up rebuilding my system.  I may have to find an alternative to Norton Ghost.

Not necessarily. It may work. Leary used his old HD with a new motherboard. Naturally you would image you current system before attempting the restore.

You can still use your Ghost 10 CD to create and restore images. Boot to the CD and...

This is using Ghost 8.2 (ghost32.exe).

I don't know how to fix your Ghost 10. There is an incompatibility with either your software or motherboard.
