33016 2002-01-26 22:48:00 I frequently Ghost back over my drive and upon the first reboot I get the '....finished installing new devices, reboot'.

How do I tell which device is being restalled? Why does it only do it after a Ghost Image has been put back? Does not do it on normal cold boot.

OS = W2K

Original Ghost = Disk to Image and contains all devices in working order.

Ghosting back = Disk image to disk. Checking Device manager after the Ghost but before the requested reboot shows all devices okay in Device Manager.

None of the other devices require a restart after this operation.

Anyone have some ideas what might be causing this? Its a bit annoying as it requires an extra operation after Ghosting. If I don't do the reboot it comes up eavery time until I do it. It also seems that I have to a cold reboot to stop it.

Thanks

33018 2002-01-26 23:45:00 Had you installed any new hardware sice the point that you made the Ghost image. Because it could be a new device that has been installed since then.

If it really bugging you, you could always create another Ghost image after the new device has been installed.

JM: No new devices installed between Ghosts. I suspect its being caused by devices attached to USB's, possible a Memory Stick reader, tried 3 different readers and all do the same. Remove reader and goes away/!?!?
