Ghstwalk error - No Bootable 9x or NT installations detected on this machin

  • 1.  Ghstwalk error - No Bootable 9x or NT installations detected on this machin

    Posted Jan 17, 2007 11:51 AM
    We have some Gateway 4300 desktop computers with Windows XP. We are able to ghost them fine. When we try to run Ghstwalk, we get an error 'no bootable 9x or NT installations detected on this machine'. I have searched but not able to find a solution to this error. We are using Symantec Ghost 2003 with the latest LiveUpdates applied.

    Any help appreciated!!

    Hi Andrew,

    Ghost 2003 was released in end 2002, and the last update was released in early 2004. So the device supports for the components are probably not up-to-date.

    Reason for this error message is either it did not identify the volume as a boot volume, or it could not read the hard disk for some reason. Since this only happens with a one type of a machine, probably it is a device related issue. What kind of hard disks do they have? If it is SCSI disks, you may be able to get it going by using DOS drivers for the disk.
