Title: Ghost image, multiple partitions
Post by sciconf on Dec 30^th, 2007 at 9:29pm

Hi

I have Ghost 2003 installed in WinXP, P4 socket 478.

Ghost 2003, only sees the first 3 partitions in Windows mode (there are a total of 5 partitions). It is a 160 Gig WD hard drive and was partitioned simultaneously using WD software (all NTFS).

I tried to back up the C & D drives as I have Windows and programs respectively. I wanted to put the image in the 5th partition - but it only sees the first 3.

I ran utilities on the HD - but no issues were found neither any improvement.

Thanks

Well...that doesn't sound good!

In the Windows Ghost interface, when I choose *Ghost Basic / Backup*, my *Disk 1* lists 8 partitions: 1 NTFS, 2 Hidden, 4 FAT32, and 1 FAT16

So, if your installation is not picking up all the partitions--I would have to say your installation has not run correctly. And, I do not know of any way to change the situation short of recommending un-installing and then attempting to re-install to see if the second time proves to be the charm!

Let us know how it goes!

boot with windows 98 boot disk
and then put another floppy with GDISK.exe on
then type
GDISK 1 /status
and enter on key board

see how many partitions it shows.
here is a live linux CD with partition magic called Pmagic on
