I have a drive image from a 250GB disk that was created with Ghost32.exe from Ghost Corporate Edition v8.0 that was run from a BartPE CD. The disk was not full, and the image spans six .GHx files. The original disk went missing, so I purchased a replacement and tried to restore from the image.
The restore goes to 98 or 99% and quits. The header of the Ghosterr.txt file follows:
*********************************
Date : Fri Feb 01 21:11:20 2008
Error Number: (25058)
Message: Unable to locate enough contiguous free space to load run. Increase the destination partition size or run Ghost with -NTC- switch.
Version: 8.0.0.984 (Oct 3 2003, Build=984)
OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Command line arguments: -clone,mode=restore,src=e:\ghost\tardis-ii\hd250.gho,dst=3 -NTC-
*********************************
I have run Ghost32 from the graphical interface in Windows, from the BartPE CD and from the command line with a text file containing the line following "Command line arguments" above. (The -NTC- switch was on a separate line in the file.)
I have tried restoring to drives of 80, 250 and 300GB, all with the same result. The manual suggests that the drive may not have been defragmented before creating the image. I usually do, but may not have in this case. Anyway, it's a little late for that now. I need to know how I can successfully restore this image to a disk. Besides the older Corporate version, we also have the current GSS with a service agreement, if that is of any help.
Thanks in advance for your help. - Ben
