Greetings,
   I read the guides and stickes on Ghost 9. What I want to do is make an image file of my C:\ drive which is 16 GB. This way I can always get to this Windows XP PRo SP2 installation if the computer has any problems.
   What I have done thus far:
        1.  I used the Ghost 9 version to make a "backup" of my c:\ drive the files were stripped to 4400 g.B a piece. This way I could put each one on a DvDR.  ( I used "Verify")
        2. The files have a .sv2i file and 4 .v2i files that go 1-4
        3. I tried booting with the ghost 9 cd and had problems which is what brought me here
        4.  I read the Reatogo guide by Brian, I followed the directions and was able to make the iso. The problem with the guide he had is when I double clicked the Ghost 9 autohelp it never asked me for a cdkey.
                     - I believe that this is due to the guide not being made for the new version of ReaToGO
       5. At this point I would like to know what my next step is. My goal is to be able to be able to boot with these Cd's and to have the drive imaged correctly. What do I need to do? Should I burn these images to a DvDR?
     If I am correct I need to burn the CD of the Bart PE folder which is 322MB this will allow me to boot into Ghost, Then I woudl most likely be able to backup that way. I have been trying to figure this out for a long time and would like to fix any tweaks I need to do now rather than later. Any help is appreciated.


Edit:
    It is not creating an image file since it says:
"Error: SetupDecompressOrCopyFIle() "F:\I386\sys\ROBOEX32.DLL" Ti C:\ReaToGo-240\BartRPE\I386\System\32\sys\ROBOEX32.dll" The system can not find the path Specified

I was able to find the file on a site but was not sure if I Should copy the folder dir to a cd r

Quote:

    Well my cd was all scratched up so I copied the cd with plextor to my hard drive. From there I used nero and made a Boot cd with the cd. I am not sure if I went wrong by making  the option " Boot-cd" But it boots into dos but it wont let me run any program off the Norton cd. As I said before I have 4 files burned onto dvd's 1. is  estee.sv2i
2-4 = C_Drive_s0#.v2i, C_Drive.v2i

My computer is Windows SP2. Ghost 9 is installed and I just followed your advice and Liveupdated it to 3981, (was using 2583)

As to reaTogo-240.exe when it is in the root Dir. It created a Dir @ C:\REATOGO-240 so the files were all placed there.

  I will now re-install it and tell you what happens. AS to the re-install the only plugins I saw I could download were the "Ghost v9.0 plugin is this correct? I just dont watn to do this all wrong again. ( My drives are PATA as you said )


   As for Step 2 I think this may be the problem since I dont remember performing the create driver section. I thought it was part of the plugins section. Let me re-try this and hopefully this will fix the problem. As for plugins the only one I see is the ghost v9.0 I would need correct

  My goal is to get Norton to boot up and for my drives to be restored in a fast fashion from the cd's. I am storing the images on a backup hard drive to expedite the process but in the case I am on the go and need these disks it will be helpful since I have 3 computers with the same configuration.

What do you think? I have a version of Ghost 2003 which I can get my hands on if I chose but I am a fighter and want to figure out how to use this v9 since I have spent so much time already on it.


** note:
          Should I still go ahead and do: Quote:



I saw what you wrote but just want to make sure taht you dont want me to make my source " Win Xp SP2 CD. I think you want me to so figured I would check again. Thx a mil!

Also as I was running the setup it said 1 file was not found but did not address what file it was when I ran
Quote:


Then it says after installation "2. Ram Drive MUST be FIXED and Min 32mb. AutoRamResizer enabled wil not work. If required - Config. My Defaults- (Main Panel) to correct your ramdrv settings.



*** After testing it at making an ISO I got the same error as before, thus it did not make an ISO image since the build stopped due to the 1 error***

  What I did, I setup as source = F:\ ( Win XP SP2 CD)
CUstom = Blank
OUTPUT = C:\ReaToGO-240\BARTPE
Media Output: C:\REATOGO-240\reatogoBuilder.iso

  This way I would be able to see where it went wrong. There is no such file as ROBOEX32.DLL on the windows cd. I do have this file though downloaded. Is there a way I can get this to work just off my hard drive? This is very frustrating

edit fix, original cd wont boot ...

On the last build it says cant find it on F:\ ( my win XP SP2 cd)

When I do a search I cant find this file in C:\windows\system32

maybe I can modify the Ghost9.inf to direct to c:\desktop\roboex32.dll

If I can figure the command since it has it as SYS\roboex32.dll=2  in the [SourceDisksFIles] of the inf it would solve the problem?

I registered to the site but it will not allow me to post yet, is ther ea way you could post on my behalf?


I am going try this: Quote:



RUnning this now and it seems to be working when I make these corrections. I had to place the file in that folder as mentioned

I am going to reboot and see what happens

Have you tried booting from the scratched Ghost 9 CD?

Can you do a search of your C: drive for roboex32.dll? It's added when you install Ghost 9.

My Ghost 9 CD doesn't have those choices.
