Ghost Solution Suite

Hi,

I need to clone a CNC Machine Harddisk before it break down, At first, the CNC Harddisk (FUJITSU MHT2030AT 30GB) not 

allow to install any sorfware, i have to transfer the CNC Harddisk to another PC to clone it, i use IDE to USB Adapter connect

the CNC Harddisk to one of the PC USB Port, and also connect a new Harddisk (FUJITSU MHT2030AT 30GB) to another

PC USB Port. The PC OS Platform is Windows XP with GHOST 2003 (V. 2003.793), i run GHOST 2003, selected Source

and Destination Disk, start clone , the result is successfully, i put the new Harddisk to the CNC Machine, power on, the 

Windows NT OS booted, when the machine software is booted an error message came out (At least one of driver failure) , the machine hang all the way.

The Harddisk with 6 Partition  (DOS_SYSTEM  FAT)  ,  (NT_SYSTEM  NTFS)  ,  (NT_SERVICE  NTFS)  ,  (IMAGE  FAT)                                                               (TCO_TOPS  NTFS)  ,  (TCO_MMC  NTFS)

Please give me an advice and i would appreciated very much, i really need to clone a new Harddisk.

Best Regards,

If you are saying that the OS boots fine on the new machine then the cloning process has succeeded. If the failure only comes when you start the software, then it sounds to me like the software hasn't survived the cloning process.

This can often be the case specialist licensed software where they build in mechanisms to ensure license compliance. The software in question may just need to be re-installed and re-licensed. Have you tried this?

That is a very old version of the software.   The 2003 version was Norton GHost and behavied differently.    Are you running the ghost32.exe to execute ghost or are you in the Norton ghost GUI?

There is a high likelyhood that the new drive is not the same size and that the ghost destinatino drive is getting the partitions resized.    If you are using the ghost executables then you could do a disk to image task that uses the -ir switch and the -fnf switch to create your image.  This will take longer but will be an identical clone and not try to optimize the file lay out and won't resize partitions.    Might be worth a shot.
