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?

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.
