Ghost 8.3 not responding during image restore

Hi all,
This is my first post and hope someone could help. I've image my old 80GB SATA drive and want to restore it to my new 120GB SATA drive. The image span to total of 5 DVD. I've tried to restore it twice today, the fisrt try it hang just before 30-min to complete and the second one, it hang again at 50% complete. Both restore activities has just burn me 6 hours of nothing.
Is there any command line option that I can use to overcome this? Do I have to start all over again from disc 1 and hope it will not hang again this time? Help. I'm running out of time.
Thanks.

I can tell from you post that you are having a problem restoring an image from 5 DVD's--but unfortunately, that's about all--there can be a multitude of reasons!
Is there no *error message* or *ghosterr.txt* created?
First troubleshooting step--run an *Integrity* check on the 5 DVD imagae set to make sure the set is not corrupt. Did you do that when you created the DVD set originally? Did it pass? I don't consider an optical image set reliable until it can pass the *Integrity* check.

Thanks NightOwl for the reply. Problem solved. I don't know how but this time it went through. I choose Browse instead of OK everytime after I put the next DVD.
Got another 2 problems though. My D: drive (extended partition-Logical) is not there although I can see it being copied during the restore session and I'm not sure if Ghost had image the hidden (HPA) partition (contain Dell MediaDirect 2.0). I've choose Local --> Disk --> To Image to create the backup, I suppose it will image everything on the old drive - hidden or not. Right?
Appreciate if you can explain a bit about this.
Edit: Read about HPA at
www.goodells.net
. My MediaDirect is lost.
Thanks.
