I have not been able to get any real answers up to this point so I though I would reach out to the forums.
Our team uses Ghost to image hundreds of laptops and desktop computers without any issues. We are using Ghost64.exe version 12.0.0.8010.
We have recently started implementing the use of M2-NVME hard drives in some of our Lenovo P50's and Lenovos P70's. This technology is relatively new and I have experienced a tremendous amount of issues trying to get them to image properly. As a result, I would like to know officially if Symantec supports these drives or not.
Here are some examples of the problems we have been facing ...
1. We will recive the following error when trying to create an image even if we have performed a proper shutdown, "Encountered an NTFS volume with a logfile that has not been flushed".
2. M2-NVME drives in the P50 will create and restore without issue IF Windows 10 was ORINGINALLY installed on an NVME drive. However, if I built an image using a mechanical drive or Samsung 850 SSD it will restore to an NVME drive but it will fail to boot.
3. M2-NVME drives in a P70 will not image at all. If I try to create an image from an M2-NVME drive it will actually create the image but the subsequent .gho and .ghs files will be significantly smaller then they should be. The image is clearly no good because ity is obviously smaller than it should be abd does not view valid partitions or data when viewed for Ghost Explorer. If you try to restore using that image it will fail obviously. Our only recourse it to use the Samsung Magician softweare to clone a good physical drive to the M2-NVME drive.
I would love to get some feedback from Symantec on this issue and where they stand interms of supporting these drives. I would also like to see if any of you have experienced any of these issues as well.
