I chose make a snapshot. It worked fine.

now I have a similar problem.

ww

when using ghost.exe from Ghost 11.5 peer to peer, i get message

cannot lock volume.

The destination volume could notbe locked as it is in use by another process ...

different from before,

I do not get a choice unlike before.

It does not let me continue.

Just to be sure--are you booting to DOS and using *ghost.exe*?

Or, are you booted to Windows and using *ghost32.exe*?

I've only seen messages about *dismounting* and using *snap-shot*, and *volumes not being able to be locked* when using Ghost from within Windows!

Here is a more detailed account. Help please.

I am trying to do a Local restore C partition from an image on F partition using ghost32.exe on the desktop.

I get question 1855

A destination volume could not be locked as it is in use by another process. Do you wish to attempt to force a dismount on this volume?
ALL OPEN FILES ON THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
I replied Yes and got

Error
A destination volume could not be locked (641)

So, is the C partition your OS partition that you load/run Windows from?

If *Yes*, then you can not use *ghost32.exe* to restore the active OS partition--the OS is running Ghost32 for you--if you attempt to over-write that active OS, the process would eliminate all the active processes running the OS, including Ghost!

You must run Ghost32 from some flavor of WinPE, BartPE, or a stand alone second partition with Windows on it that you can boot to and restore that image file to the inactive C partition. Or, boot to DOS and run the *ghost.exe* program--the DOS based Ghost program that is not dependent on the Windows OS.

Although accurate, sometimes the error messages don't tell the necessary information you need to know!

Does the above represent your problem--does it help?

	Re: ghost 11.5 Local disk to image Reply #8 - Feb 14^th, 2010 at 7:30pm I see. Back in the day I think it was possible with ghost 2003 booting from floppy. I plan to go back and create a bootable ghost 2003 to help ease the floppy disk pains. thank you

Ghost 2003?! Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 (source for Ghost 11.5) should have its own Ghost Boot Wizard! But any DOS boot disk that gets you to DOS should work fine--but, the *ghost.exe* for Ghost 11.5 is larger than what can fit on a 1.44 MB floppy disk--may have to have it on an optical disc that you can access from DOS, or on a flash drive--bootable, or otherwise accessible in DOS, or on a FAT partition that DOS can access on an internal HDD, or an external USB HDD.

Of course, *ghost32.exe* can not be run from DOS, but could probably be run from a BartPE or similar Windows based boot disc.

Good to hear!

Something else I forgot to mention--newer Ghost versions are *backward* compatible with older Ghost version image files--but an older version of Ghost may not be able to work with an image file that was created by a newer version of Ghost!

So, Ghost 2003 may not be able to restore an image file created by Ghost 11.5--while Ghost 11.5 may work fine with an image file created by Ghost 2003!
