I am using Symantec Ghost to image new computers. I have a computer that is running windows 2000 and I am going to a new computer with windows xp pro. I need to move the software programs but not take a complete image of the win 2000 computer.
View 4 RepliesI am using Symantec Ghost Enterprise Edition 8.0 to create an image that I can use to clone about 100 computers. All the computers have the exact same hardware configuration. I have used SysPrep to erase the licensing so that the user can type the license number from the sticker on their PC, and their user name. The problem arises when some of the computers locks up after the restoration, and on the first boot. After pressing the Reset button, it boots up, and asks for the license agrrement
When you finish with the license agreement part of the boot process, it then asks some users about the VGA, and NIC drivers. The problem is that not all the users gets asked about the NIC, and VGA drivers. Some of the users do not get asked these driver questions, but the screen resolution changes. Please remember that all the hardware are exactly the same, and they all have the same BIOS and firmware version.
I have XP Home on my computer and am useing XP's backup program and system restore to keep out of trouble but after reading alot of post on this newsgroup I have decided I need a better way to back up my OS. I would like to know which is the best and easiest to use Acronis True Image or Symantec's Norton Ghost
View 28 Replies View RelatedI need to transfer data, settings and programs from one notebook to another. Should I expect trouble if I make a ghost image of the hard drive on the original notebook, image it on to the new notebook and install all the drivers for the new notebook? There are a few large programs and alot of critical data and settings, so if this method works, I would like to do it this way. The old notebook will have Mandrake installed, so the XP license will continue to only be used on one computer.

I looked at some messages for hardware, but they are for Win98 and Me. Says problems with Win2K, etc. Are there any other programs other than xxcopy that will work with Win2K? I was familiar with Ghost, but only with Win98SE. Would there be a version of Ghost that would work now?
I bought a new laptop with Windows XP in it, I wanted to transfer some files from my Desktop PC which has Vista to my laptop with XP, I bought a Belkin USB Data Transfer Cable to transfer files with help of Windows Easy Transfer but when I installed the software provided with it, it seemed that I can only transfer files from XP to Vista.

Everytime I start windows, the windows security Alert comes up with the alert to check my AV. I have my AV up to date but still I am asked to check it all the time by windows security alert. In the recommendations tab,It states Symantec Antivirus reports that it is installed but its status is unknown. The 2 options it gives are :Make sure your antivirus is up to date and turned on or get another Antivirus.

The AV successfully installed and then the issue started when it was updating itself. all of a sudden the machine hanged .. never to recover! When hard booted the machine booted up but the start button nevr came and all the desktop apps were just small boxes! Recovery Steps that i took: I booted the machine in the safe mode and tried to uninstall the symantec but the windows installer does not run in safe mode !!
tried to follow a tutorial on the web to create a registry entry : To create a Registry entry, open command prompt ( Run->Cmd). Type the following command in the Window- REG ADD HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSafeBootMinimalMSIServer/VE/TREG_SZ/F/D %Service%. then "net start msiserver" to start the windows installer to install/uninstall app in safe mode. unfortunately it din workout i still get error 1084 “the service cannot be started in the safe mode”.
computer crashed? about 2 months ago. cleaned it, added some ram total now 512. computer runs,if i open documents pitures, etc, its ok. however if i try to run symantec or read my emails it will give me a few minutes and then goes to this blue striped screen and i have to shut down computer and restart.oh, i also changed the battery on the mb someone said they can get weak,perhaps causing problem beyond that he suggested possible mb chip.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have been having an ongoing problem in being able to install programs (diskeeper and Symantec) after I have downloaded them. Their advice to me has been to double click the "Event Log" in my Services list and set it to automatic. I have just realized that the title, "Event Log" does not exist in my list and I think that may be my problem. Recently, I upgraded my Windows XP Pro from a pirated version by paying for and installing the Genuine Windows XP Pro version. I had then installed SP2. I wonder if in all of this I have lost the Event Log heading and if anyone can tell me how I can get it back.

My HD crapped out on me so I bought a new one. My brother gave me a copy of Windows Black for my new OS, so I installed it. Everything was running smooth, (installing drivers, hardware and such) until I DL'ed Steam. I noticed a weird box on my screen. I'd scroll up or down and it would multiply. "Oh great" I thought. Un-installed Steam then re-installed my video card. Back to normal. Re-installed steam, same problem. GRRRRR.Finally gave up on Steam and just started browsing for other software to get. Out of nowhere the boxes show up again, so I know it's not a Steam problem. Maybe a video card problem? Maybe a Windows Black bug? I have no idea, but this is what I see on my desktop.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering, if you had norton ghost 9.0 can you copy your harddrive Operating system and all and if you had an older computer and you bought a new harddrive for it could you then copy your xp operating system and all onto the older computer? Like say you had an old computer with windows 98 on it. and you have a computer with windows xp. can you use norton ghost to copy the windows xp operating system and all the stuff on the xp computer and then if you formatted that win98 harddrive so it was empty then put the xp system on the old win98 computer harddrive and have it work?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI posted earlier regarding this topic, but can't find the NG I posted to. Essentially, we deployed a few identical machines (and hence identical HALs) individually. Now I'd like to save a ghost image, and use that to image each machine, then change their domain and workstation info. My only concern is this system ID thing - I was informed to use SysPrep, but what does that do? What happens if there's two SID's on the network - I was able to clone one desktop using ghost (didn't run sysprep), then just changed the computer name and joined it onto the domain after (had to reboot obviously for that, but I don't mind).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am working trying to get my XP OS switched from the current C: to a new WD hard drive I just got. I tried the Maxtor backup get it to restore to this new drive with no luck. My thoughts on Maxtor's backup software are not printable on this forum anyway, I used my copy of Ghost 2003 to clone the current C: to the new drive. It transferred with not problems. I disconnected the old C: and changed the jumpers on the new hard drive (I also changed the cable so that drive is now the primary drive). It will boot into XP but hangs on the Windows XP window. It doesn't even go to start. I can boot into safe mode but hell, I don't know what to do there! I have tried using Norton Recovery disk but it gets almost loaded and then reboots.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having this odd graphics glitch on my desktop after I recovered the OS from a system32 file corruption. I used the recovery console to repair the corrupted .dll file, and everything is working properly now except that every once in a while when I right click to bring up an options window on anything (desktop or program icon) and then left click on one of the available options, a ghost image of the option I clicked will remain on the desktop. It doenst interfere with program functionality, but is just more of an eyesore. I have updated all my drivers I can think of and run scandisk on the RAID setup.
