Ghost Solution Suite

Hello, Everyone!!

 

  I am new here and needed some help. Thanks,

 

 

I am trying to create a bootable dvd image from a ghost image through the ghost boot wizard and I get "unexpected error trying to create image file is read-only or not enough disk space I know we have enough disk space  I have 31gb on C: and the file is not read-only. It's creating the image in the default temp directory. Any help would be appreciated.

By creating an image do you mean creating ISO image? If so there was a bug in not allowing to create ISO over 2GB in size. I think this was resolved in Live update 2. Have you run Live update?

Trying to create a bootable dvd image not an iso but I haven't run the live update. Thanks for your help I will try running the live update.

I have run update getting the same error can anyone assist me?\

 

 

Thanks,

Can you please tell me what do you mean by "trying to create an image to temp directory" if it is not an ISO?

 

You say you are creating bootable DVD? But when Ghost boot wizard creates bootable media (CD/DVD/USB) it writes nothing to temp folder apart from some temp files to recompress Winpe. Everything else goes to a CD/DVD directly.

When using the ghost boot wizard it states in the window it is copying image files and the ghost/pc dos files to a temp folder in \local settings\temp\tempghoXXX folder. Why its doing this I assume its putting all the files together then burning the dvd using files in the tempghoXXXXX folder don't know why it would be doing this but that's what it is trying to do. Also, thanks for giving me a hand with this I appreciate your time.

Ok, your first post confused me a bit since you were talking a file being non-read-only hence why I thought of ISO. As I said it copies files to temp folder but this is only to assemble files from different locations before writing them to media and to also recompress Winpe to inject latest ghost executables to it.

 

Now, what OS are you running, Vista? If so then turn off all restore points. Vista hides a lot of space behind those restore points and what you see in Explorer is far from truth compared to what ewe get from API. If not Vista then we'll try troubleshooting something else.

 

Cheers.

It's XP professional version 2002 SP3. I have 28.6GB of space on this machine. Again, thanks for your help.
