| 414537 | 2005-12-21 17:43:00 | Where do I start? :waughh: Ok, I’ve got 2 physical HDD’s. One is 20 gig partitioned 50/50 into C & D drives. The other is 10 gig unpartitioned which is E drive. Now, I normally ghost my C drive to E which has worked no problem up to now. However, C drive has now grown to 3.81gig’s, which requires Ghost to take a second bite of the cherry as it were, because of a DOS limitation of 2 gigs I understand. Ok, all works fine until we hit the 2 gig limit and we get the message “insert new media”. Supposedly, if you click OK or hit enter at this stage ghost will carry on, but whilst it tries, after a few seconds I get a message “Not enough room on drive “E” which is nonsense as there is 7.83 gig available on drive E. I tried switching to drive D but similar message, not enough room drive “D” that has 2.46gig spare which should be plenty for the 25% left. What am I doing wrong? Googleing hasn’t turned up an answer. Ghost 2002 - Win ME - all Fat32 partitions. (The default PC DOS on floppy) (Hmmm, wonder if that PC Dos could have something to do with it?) :confused: |

| 414538 | 2005-12-21 18:17:00 | I use Ghost 9.0 and never had any problems, I can even image RAID systems running on controlers not seen in BIOS. Can you move on to version 9.0? | georgeks (9122) | ||
| 414539 | 2005-12-21 18:31:00 | DOS has nothing to do with it. How exactly are you ghosting? I ghost my C: to a folder on my D: by doing the following: Local - Partition to image High Compression. |

| 414540 | 2005-12-21 18:54:00 | pctek, Are you sure DOS has nothing to do with it :question: Otherwise I'm doing the same as you . georgeks, Not sure what version I'm running other than it came with SystemWorks 2002 From what I can make out, it could be configured from Windows from 2003 on . However, I'm sure this is the last of the DOS models . |

| 414541 | 2005-12-21 19:02:00 | I run the same version of Ghost that came with System Works 2002 without the problem described, though usually I'm cloning an 80Gb drive to another 80Gb drive using the 'disk to disk' option. Not sure why that problem is ocurring. |

| 414542 | 2005-12-21 21:24:00 | At ease everyone, yes stand easy, problem solved! :D OK, for those interested there is a problem at the 2 GB DOS level between PC-DOS, MS-DOS from Win ME and MS-DOS from Win 98. To fix the problem you make yourself a Ghost Boot Disk from a Win98 boot disk. Do NOT use a Win ME boot disk to make the Ghost disk or use the default PC-DOS that comes with Ghost. Don’t ask me what the technicalities are, but good old Win98 comes to the rescue again. :thumbs: |

| 414543 | 2005-12-21 21:36:00 | Ghost 2002 - Win ME - all Fat32 partitions. Here's your problem, "all Fat32 partitions". Unless you're hard-drives are truly ancient, less than 1GB, you should convert to NTFS. |

Unless you're hard-drives are truly ancient, less than 1GB, you should convert to NTFS.What a load of [Xmas Cheer] Win 9x only supports FAT32 file systems (cept 95 original which supports Fat16 of course) and most of these O/S's currently sit on 3 GB+ harddrives Ive had no issues using Ghost with FAT32, but then I always use a 98 bootdisk |

| 414546 | 2005-12-22 00:31:00 | Here's your problem, "all Fat32 partitions" . Unless you're hard-drives are truly ancient, less than 1GB, you should convert to NTFS . You must be kidding :) Struth, most of my programmes were in use before NTFS was thought of and most wouldn't work at all on NTFS . :D Ghost 2002 requires the target drive to be FAT32 according to what I’ve been reading . Actually, a mate thought that was a good idea and did he pay . Thought he could just convert back . Oh yeah! :( |
