Invalid Partition Offset Error during Integrity Ck
Jan 22nd, 2007 at 2:54am
 
I found and registered with this forum today after doing a Scroogle  (Google without you being spied on and having your info recorded  www.scroogle .org ) search for " Invalid Partition Offset message in Norton Ghost ".

My tale is slightly different than the one from the link I scroogled to that has led to my registering:

http://radified.com/cgi-bin/YaBB/YaBB.cgi?board=Full_Rad_Board;action=display;nu...

I run XP Pro SP2 fully updated, all drivers and software updated, no virus or malware issues (daily scans/updates). Processor is Athlon 2400 on Asus A7N8X deluxe, 1 GB Mushkin Black High performance DDR-SDRAM.
The system has 3 identical 80GB Western Digital 7200rpm 8MB cache HD's----my C:, D: which is a secondary IDE data drive where I keep the "My Documents" folder instead of using the Windows one on C:, and then G: which is an
external USB 1.1 connection.

When applicable,I make a ghost of C: to a folder inside D:\My Documents, and then overnite a backup utility sends the entire My Documents folder to a folder on G: simply called "Backup"

I run Norton Ghost 2003 about once a week and have "always perform an integrity check" checked in "options".
I realized,after what occurred tonite that led me on a Scroogle search to here,that I had never seen a verification of any sort that an integrity check had been performed.

What happened tonight was that I created a ghost and got the usual "successfully completed" screen, BUT I noticed that instead of transferring the usual 1.45 GB- 1.5GB of data per minute only about 760MB per minute was transferring. I went back to Windows, opened Ghost--advanced--image integrity check, and generated the error.

Now for the teaser: I keep the 3 most recent ghosts just because of "extra insurance" --my C drive has 63GB free space, D and G 32-33GB free. I therefore decided to attempt a restore of the image ( the restore ran at its usual speed of approx 1.6GB per minute ), and that procedure worked perfectly despite the integrity check failure. I then decided to try making the ghost again ( after deleting the image I restored from) and this time the ghost transferred at the usual speed of at least 1.45 GB per minute.

At that point I realized that per my option settings I should have been seeing an image integrity verification screen for not only this but all the other ghosts I have made previously, and therefore didn't even bother trying an image integrity check on this ghost

My partions are all done by Partition Magic, I run Diskeeper on "automatic defrag" for all 3 drives, and I'm not aware of any problems in the system whatsoever---everything seems to be running clean and fast.

I do notice that the little yellow "in use" light on the front of my removable bay enclosure for the D: drive is frequently on along with the green power light (always on of course) even though the drive isn't being used for anything. When I open Process EXplorer while the yellow light is on, I see that a significant ( often up to 50% of CPU usage ) is dedicated to "Hardware Interrupts". Could that be a clue to whats going on about image ntegrity checks not being automatically run?

After reading the post I referred to above, I did download the Findpart utility and have it in a folder on my desktop. If you need me to use it, please confirm that the folder contents should be copied too and run from a floppy.

Please advise how to go about resolving the issues of enabled post ghost creation integrity checks not being done, and the failure of user initiated integrity checks failing on a perfectly good ghost (proof being the ghost restored perfectly as earlier stated)

Thank you in advance for your assistance

Since my preceding post and re-reading of the post that got me here, I had a flash of inspiration, opened Partition Magic, and noticed to my surprise that my C: has a size of 76,316.6MB while my D: & G: are only 76308.7 each because they are each behind a 7.8 MB unallocated space.

I am going to resize C: to 76,305MB per the obvious.

Please advise what other actions to take.

I still need help.
Partition Magic automatically resized My C: to the exact size of the other drives and I made a new ghost  to D: as described in my first post. The automatic integrity check didn't happen and the one I tried to do manually failed.
I then did a total uninstall/reinstall of Ghost, made sure " automatically verify " was checked, and made a new Ghost.
Again, the scheduled integrity check never happened and the one I then tried manually failed as before.
Since I have other ghosts, I  attempted a restore from this ghost; the procedure worked just fine despite the failed integrity check messages.
A log file was generated and since I couldn't see where/how to send it as an attachment, it follows just below.

PLEASE will someone look through this and try to help me resolve this integrity check issue----how is it that the image is good as proven by the successful restore, but the automatic integrity check never happens despite being checked in "options", and user prompted checks return the " Invalid Partition Offset-40207 "

I am getting seriously panicked that this means there is something terribly wrong with my system--despite the fact that it seems to be running as fast and clean as it ever has, and both made and restored ghosts in excellent speed of about 1.45 GB per minute

Please get back to me with any and all help you can provide.

I can't put the log in this message--I was rejected for too big a message. How can I send the log as an attachment?--I don't see a prompt anywhere for doing that. Please advise

*Don't Panic*!--at least not yet--it's when your system will not boot, all your data has disappeared, or you smell electrical burning odors, and see smoke coming from your case--that's panic time  Wink !

Will it fit in a separate post without additional comments?

Break it up into two segments and post segment one and then segment 2 in separate posts.

Most of the important information as to what Ghost did in the log is in the first part of the log--any error messages will usually be there--the last part is usually details about the individual drives and their configuration--may or may not be of value in troubleshooting.

Quote:

Are you watching the Ghost procedure take place, and after the image is created, do you see that the Integrity check does not take place?

Quote:
user prompted checks return the " Invalid Partition Offset-40207 "

When doing the Integrity check--Ghost is *pretending* to restore the image to a HDD--I suspect it is checking internal partition *integrity* during this check which apparently it does not check during image creation--you have already demonstrated that the image *is* okay by doing the test restore--but, obviously Ghost is detecting something that it doesn't like--even though it does not prevent your system from functioning *OK*.

*Partition Offset* has to do with where data starts and ends on the HDD--and is probably something that's stored in the Partition Table--and probably there is a mis-match between the Partition Table data and the reported size of the HDD--not my area of expertise--Dan Goodell is more likely to be able to advise on this kind of stuff.  You might be able to *attract* his attention by changing your thread title to *Invalid Partition Offset-40207 error during Integrity Check*--edit that in your first post and re-save it.

You might want to try booting from a Ghost boot floppy disk or bootable optical disc to DOS, and running the Integrity check from DOS to see if that same error occurs.

Hi Nightowl,

I'm sure glad to hear from you--I was beginning to wonder what I'd done to upset anyone since I wasn't getting

any responses

I am watching the making of the ghost and seeing that the integrity check does not take place after the image creation.

I did boot from floppy, and am happy to say that the integrity check worked just fine

I retitled my first post but " Invalid Partition Offset-40207 error during Integr " is all that would fit.

Since you know Dan Goodell, could you try to contact him and ask him to get involved?

I am going to get the failed integrity check log into my next post(s), and then wait to hear from you and hopefully Dan.

Thank you again for getting involved--I'm really curious to hear your thoughts about the log!

How come this forum, unlike so many others I've visited, doesn't have the option to attach a file like the log file for review? So far, this is the only forum where I haven't had the option to do that.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Peter

Hi Nightowl,

I just had a thought.....

When i run ghost from the Windows interface, I don't start with "Ghost Basic"--"backup", but rather "Ghost Advanced"--"Run Ghost Interactively".

Could that be why I'm having and have been having this integrity check problem all along?!!!

Am eagerly waiting to hear from you.

Thanks again, Peter

Re: Invalid Partition Offset-40207 error during In

I presume there is another log for the image creation part?

Quote:
When i run ghost from the Windows interface, I don't start with "Ghost Basic"--"backup", but rather "Ghost Advanced"--"Run Ghost Interactively".

Could that be why I'm having and have been having this integrity check problem all along?!!!

That would represent conflicting instructions for Ghost--you have it set to perform tasks in a step-by-step interaction--but the *Options* setting is to perform a function *automatically*--you should try the process using the *basic* backup routine and see if the integrity check works automatically using that setup.

Quote:
I did boot from floppy, and am happy to say that the integrity check worked just fine

This suggests that there is a procedural problem when using the Windows interface--it further suggests that you should test the *basic* backup, and see if the integrity check now completes without problems.

Hi Nightowl,


I am going to try and make a ghost from "basic" per your suggestion to see if the image integrity check works  by either automatic, or manual mode if the automatic doesn't work . I  will send the log generated from the making of that ghost and also any failed integrity check log(s) generated. I will post again as soon as the preceding is done (about 30 min--its now 1045PM PST)
Here is the log of the last successful ghost creation:

Re: Invalid Partition Offset Error during Integrit
Reply #13 - Jan 24th, 2007 at 9:40am

So, if you run Ghost in the *Interactive* mode, you can create the image without error, but running the Integrity check from the *Interactive* mode give you the error!

But, if booted directly to DOS, the Integrity check of the image created in the *Interactive* mode runs successfully!

And, if you attempt to use the Windows Ghost interface and set up the Ghost procedure to proceed *automatically*, you get the error during image creation--as opposed to the Integrity check stage!

And, you have restored the successful image and your system works fine from that restored image that passes the DOS integrity check, but not the *Interactive* mode Integrity check!

Question--when you create the image--are you doing a *whole disk* backup (Local > Disk > to Image), or are you doing a partition backup (Local > Partition > to Image)?

Do you have PartitionMagic available?  Can you try Dan Goodell's suggested *fix* for Stephen Diebel's problem in the thread you referenced in your first post:

Quote:
Although the anomaly isn't critical, it's not advisable to leave it that way.  If you have a good partitioning tool like PartitionMagic or Bootit-NG,
I would try shrinking the partition to slightly less than max size, then increasing it again to max size
.  The partitioning utility should be able to straighten out the inconsistencies in the partition table and the partition's boot sector.


PartitionMagic can make changes to your partitions without destroying the data on the partition--always good to have a current backup before using PartitionMagic--but, I have never had a loss of data using PartitionMagic (knock on wood)!

Have you tried the Partition Table Doctor software?

I used it successfully once to repair a partition error.
