PS: no Ghost 15 option found to post in, my apologies for "misposting".
I installed W10Pro, after full setup, I made a ghost of the drive, all is good.
Ran into trouble with W10Pro, so backup restore needed.
CD in drive, boot, restore computer, select file, start... death by error.
The error told me it could not restore to the drive, no such drive found.
Manual check: file address tells me C:\, target tells me C:\.
Not a bloody clue why it fails, both are correct in Source/Target address, but another death at start restore, same result.
Clever as I am, I think to myself: why not open the target drive through Ghost options, remove all files manually, and simply copy all from inside the backup file.
Plenty simple, I'd reckon.
But here's the snag: delete went troublesome, often an error "cannot delete file, file not existent".
So??????
What is the problem, it was meant to be deleted anyway.
This error stopped the whole process, no skip file, no resume, it stopped.
Restart C:/ delete, and again, and again, and... you get the point.
Once C:\ was empty, open backup file, copy, back to C;\, paste....
Pop-up tells me: COPYING, perfect, rght?
Well no...
See, for the past 4 hours, Ghost is scanning the source file.
Now, I used ghost quite a few times, a backup never took more than 40 minutes, verify included.
So, copying the file content should not take 40minutes, not to mention 4+bloody hours of just scanning, not even copying.
Is there something wrong?
Workaround this?
ADDENDUM:
Ghost finally figured it's time to copy.
Well not quite: error e7d1000e: file/folder does not exist.
Wait a sec, I SEE the folder and files myself, so what gives? O_O
It's driving me nuts, really.
Thank you aforehand.
