Dell 170L Optiplex Ghost image is always corrupted after creation
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 1 comment
I am trying to image a 170L Optiplex, which has a 40G IDE Drive which is on the Primary Master. On the primary slave is another drive, which is a 120GB IDE. I trying to make an image of the 40G and put it on the 120G. The 120GB drive is formated, and is seen in Windows with an assigned drive letter with nothing on it. When i start the ghosting process, everything went smoothly .. no errors and the files were being read correctly. Then I restart, looked at the GHO file created in Windows explorer. It is 0 bytes in size, but during the image process it says it was close to 4GB. I deleted it, and ran a chkdsk on the 120GB drive, no errors. Tried it again and got the same issue ... any ideas?
Thanks guys

Ghost does cache some data
Ghost does cache some data during the cloning operation. It could be that if ghost wasn't exited, or ghost's restart used, the restart could result in that data not being written back to disk.
What operating system (Windows, WinPE, DOS, ?) are you running while running ghost to create the image? Also, what filesystem is on the 120GB disk and what version of ghost are you using?
Thanks, Robert.
