View 3 RepliesI am trying to clone my work machine to use on a dual boot system on my new machine. My old works machine has to run win 98 for some of the works programs to be able to run. When I use ghost 2003 and try to clone to an
external drive it goes ok but does not show up as a ghost image there fore cannot restore on new machine partition running win 98. What am I doing wrong.
I tried ghost 2003, the cloning of the larger drive to the smaller one didn't work (too big it said), I cancelled the operation, however, I now have a new partition on my drive, by looking at disk management, I now have cpavilion) D: recovery and this new drive G:VPSGHBOOT. I don't want it anymore. PC's 200 gigs, now it's divided into D:5.32 fat32 c:181.07 ntfs g: 7.00 fat, and also an unallocated 159.97 gigs All these fall under Disk 0: Basic 346.28GB online doesn't make any sense.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a 160 GB SimpleTech SimpleDrive (external-USB) for backup purposes. The enclosed software StorageSync (Pro) did a satisfactory job of backing up, although a little slow (1 hr - 40 min for 11.5 GB, no compression).
Neither the on-line manual or website gives information whether a restore is possible from a catastrophic-type incident of the O/S, requiring restoration from a bootup procedure. There's no instruction about preparing a "Recovery CD." I have Ghost 9.0; would this be more advisable to backup the image file; and would Ghost see the external HD from its Recovery CD?

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.

I 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.

So began to try a different approach to recover in time of problem. But have become confused about which is the better approach. Something like Go Back or something like Ghost or Acronis True Image. I am not locked into any of those-but they seem to be most often mentioned.
