  • 1.  problem copying or restoring when one of the 4 partitions has less than 2gb

    Posted Apr 14, 2010 06:05 PM
    Hi all,
    I can have a hard drive with 4 partitions bigger than 2 gb and no problem to copy or restore using ghost 2.5, the problem is when one of this partitions has less than 2gb, changes one of the partition from 102mb to 2023.8 mb. We already try with the switch –SZE and didn’t work, we try the other switch –ia but takes about 24 hr to restore the image and is to much time.  We are using the ghost console.

    before
    Partition  Status   Type     Volume Label   Mbytes   System   Usage
     C:  1        A    PRIMARY                   199.0  NTFS/HPFS   1%
     D:  2             PRIMARY                140565.0  NTFS/HPFS  92%
     E:  3             PRIMARY                 11759.0  NTFS/HPFS   8%
     F:  4             PRIMARY                   102.8  FAT32       1%
    after
    Partition  Status   Type     Volume Label   Mbytes   System   Usage
     C:  1             PRIMARY                   199.0  NTFS/HPFS   1%
     D:  2             PRIMARY                138599.0  NTFS/HPFS  91%
     E:  3            PRIMARY                 11795.0  NTFS/HPFS   8%
     F:  4             PRIMARY                  2023.8  FAT32       1%

    Any ideas.

    Hi,
    Try restore operation with -SZEE. IT forces Ghost to keep the sizes of all destination partitions the same size as in the source partition (no resizing).
    I wish it'll solve your problem.

    Regards,
