| 36887 | 2002-02-24 08:22:00 | After much ado i finally got ghost to image to my cdrw drive. however i can't get it to image to my other hard drives or partitions because they are are not showing up in ghost. this has happened only after converting to ntfs in XP home. windows recognises the drives however. i have a c drive partitioned to c and g. i also have a separate hdd which is D drive. the drop down in ghost only shows A drive and the cdrw drive. the cdrw ghost took approx 8 hours and with ntfs ghost explorer is a no go so would like to ghost to a hard drive.is it a bios problem? | Guest (0) | ||
| 36888 | 2002-02-25 09:34:00 | Hi, I can't quite follow at what the real issue is; so Im just giving you some ideas? (1) Could be a Bios problem, but though its not always the case. And most times, i'v never had this with me. (2) Before you took an image, did you try checking your that your partitions in ghost were available first before actually attempting this? If you saw the partitions, then I don't think it is Ghost. Its possible that its your image file. I have encountered such instances myself when I have created partitions; FAT32, and still Ghost had trouble finding it. The solution, which I think solved the problem was after creating it, I performed a full scandisk, so thus back in Msdos, I could see them. (3)If the logical drive was NTFS, I find that Ghost has trouble finding it (though its quite obvious) but ghost 2002 should see this regardless. (4) and because the letters of your drives change from c to g and so forth; well, thats normal for NTFS especially if your a dual boot O.S. Did you do a disk to disk image or image to partition? If this is no help, I hope someone else can be of more assistance. |

| 36889 | 2002-02-26 00:49:00 | John Bad news! Ghost is a DOS-based program and cannot see or read NTFS files. From memory it can clone NTFS partitions on a sector by sector basis but for all practical purposes you need to stay with FAT32. I think there are more options & more flexibility in Ghost Enterprise (Professional?)version but it costs an arm and a leg. Best to convert back to FAT32 if you want to use Ghost. You can convert NTFS partitions back to FAT without loss of data using the latest version of PartitionMagic. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 36890 | 2002-02-26 09:24:00 | Ghost can only 'read' NTFS partitions, not write to them. Keep yourself a small FAT32 partition purely for storing Ghost image files. Ghost Enterprise is cool if you are running a client server setup and DOS boot disks that enable your network card. $$$$ ! | Guest (0) | ||
| 36891 | 2002-02-26 10:18:00 | thanks billy t. i thought ghost 2002 would handle ntfs as it was approved for XP and most XP systems are NTFS. however i same applies for powerquest drive image. i get a error 107 message. any ideas there? | Guest (0) | ||
| 36892 | 2002-02-27 11:35:00 | I thought ghost 2002 only can ghost image to cdr not cdrw ? | Guest (0) | ||
| 36893 | 2002-02-28 09:40:00 | no it WILL ghost to cdrw. however cdrw tends to be a slightly less reliable meduim compared to cdr. hense if using cdrw it pays to say have at least two generations of ghost bkup updating one, then next time the other and so on so that as i have on one occassion, if you get a bad cdrw you can go to the previous generation. | Guest (0) | ||
