Hi FairBalanced,

 

For some reason I did not recieve the second pm you sent me??

 

If I understand correctly you are trying the right thing but at the wrong time. To specify an alternate place for the error file you will need to add that switch before the ghost gui is loaded. In your case:

>>Then, at an 'A' prompt, I type c:\support\ghost  

When you do the above add -afile=[drive]:\error.txt where [drive] is the letter of the drive to store the error file.

ie. at the 'A' prompt type c:\support\ghost -afile=a:\ghosterr.txt

 

Hope this helps,

Morgan

Hey Morgan,

 

I tried giving the command as you described.  It didn't make a difference to the outcome.  It still couldn't open the ghosterr file when it encountered a fault, and it still ran into the common subsequent error relating to an "internal inconsistency".

 

I have some questions:

 

I've figured out that when booting from the Ghost 2003 CD, the two internal hard drives are not assigned letters yet, and so teh CD takes the C drive position.  That's why when I was trying to save the file to c:\ ghosterr.txt, that can't work. 

 

I orginally tried moving it to C when I saw it couldn't open the file on A drive.  (I assumed that A drive was the CD drive's assignment.)

 

So now I might have some insight into my problem.  For some reason, the drive called A in windows (which is a 3.5" floppy drive) is not working in windows or at any command line prompt. In windows, it says to put a floppy in, even when one is in.

 

Could you please answer each of these questions:

Please repsond ASAP.

 

Best regards,

 

FairBalanced

 

Hi FairBalanced,

 

Ok, it seems your drives are probably formatted with NTFS and therefore aren't mounted in DOS (no drive letters assigned) so we cannot use them as a destination for the error file.

If you have created a CD boot disk from your Ghost Boot Floppy then after booting you will get the boot track of the cd mounted as the A: drive and the data track of the cd mounted with some other letter assigned in your case C: so neither of these locations are writable. If you still have a floppy drive then that will be assigned B: and you should be able to insert a floppy into that and direct the error file there. However, you have indicated that your floppy may not be working so B: drive may not be accessable?

Another option may be to create a drive mapping boot disk with Norton Ghost Boot Wizard, then you can map a network drive and use that as a writable loaction.

 

Hope this helps,

Morgan

 

Just curious, you said that disk to disk clone used to work fine and now it doesn't? is there anything in you environment you have changed since the last time Ghost succeded in doing the clone?

Thank you.

 

I've always created an identical internal hard drive using the Ghost 2003 CD, and so I've never had to install Ghost on the Windows Level.

 

I have been reading the manual, and I think three more questions can help a lot.

 

1. I think I'm understanding that, since I have a notebook computer that has an RJ 45 network cable input, and since the desktop with no functioning 3.5" floppy drive also has a network card and input, I can burn a CD using the boot wizard that will allow me to specify my notebook computer as a destination for the error file.  Is that correct?

 

2. I have the option to install Ghost 2003 on teh windows level and create an image of my C drive on my D drive. If I need to, I can access that image later using a properly configured CD (also created by the boot wizard) that can control the process from the DOS level.  Is that also correct?

 

3. If the 2nd option is selected, then the error I'm getting at the DOS level will likely repeat itself while creating the image.  Will it be easier to uncover the error from the windows level?  In other words, is this likely an easier process than approach 1?

 

Thanks again.

Hi FairBalanced,

 

The easiest way to do what you want to do with Ghost 2003 is to install it on the machine you want to backup as that is how Ghost 2003 is intended to be used. Once you have it installed you simply follow onscreen gui prompts which take you through the steps. If you are used to doing backup by cloning to another disk then you can do just that via the software gui running in Windows (I believe the you need to choose 'advanced' instead of 'backup' for disk cloning), the machine with then reboot itself and do the task you specified while also taking a log of the task and storing error files.

 

The more common option used in this Ghost version is to do a 'backup' which esentially does the same thing above but creates a Ghost Image File containing all the info of the disk or partition specified. This image can be opened with Norton Ghost Explorer in Windows and files can be extracted from that if needs be.

 

To answer your question about networking your two computers in DOS, well it would be possible but you need to do a few more steps to get it going, such as DOS drivers for your network card etc. Besides that you would have to had install the software to have access to Norton Ghost Boot Wizard to build the network boot disk anyway, so you might aswell just use the 'backup' features of Ghost 2003 instead.

 

Hope this helps,

Morgan

Thanks.  (I wish the IT person who set me up with Ghost had told us we could do the same clone from the windows level; it would have saved a lot of time over a couple of years.)

 

what's strange about the error is it seems to happen about the same time in each clone, but not around the transfer of the same file.

 

I now have an error log I can offer; your system does not allow me to send more than a certain number of characters, so I'll send it in steps.

(Please let me know what I can do to complete a clone or an image, FairBalanced.)

Hi Again,

 

Ok, now we are getting somewhere. Your error file suggests a hard disk fault (bad sectors) or maybe a hardware controller fault. Due to the age of your sofware, 2002 I think, there may also be hardware incompatablities if it is a newish system. Have you been able to do this operation with Ghost2003 before on this machine?

 

Well there is an option which you can use to continue the clone anyway which may be successfull in this situation, HOWEVER the method I suggest can not guarantee the integrity of the data on the cloned drive so use at your own risk.

 

When you set up the task in the 'clone wizard' go to 'advanced settings' and add this diagnostic switch in the 'Ghost Command Line' tab: -fro

 

-fro switch will force Ghost to keep cloning even if it comes accross bad clusters, this is why I say the data integrity CAN NOT be guaranteed.

 

Anyway try this and see if it completes. Also please post a hardware description of your machine and the Windows OS you are running Ghost2003 from in the case that you require further help.

 

You should also run a Windows disk check of your drive to see if there are any errors.

 

Regards,

Morgan

Yes, indeed.  We got somewhere.

 

Ghost struggled past certain errors, but in the end, it appears most of the files were brought over to the backup drive in a useable format.

 

Time will tell how, if at all, the data integrity of the corrupted files will be restored.  But just backing up those that aren't corrupted (before we do some new things to the C: drive) is a great help.

 

Thanks for all your help Morgan.

 

FairBalanced.

Glad to hear you got somewhere.

 

You really should check that drive for bad sectors if you intend to continue using it. Do a surface scan or the like with either Windows or third party disk diagnostic tools. It may be time for a new disk. Also make sure your critical data is not corrupted save it to a safe location and disregard the rest of the disk contents as you never know when you will run into problems down the track if you continue using that disk cloned with the -fro swtich.

 

Cheers,

Morgan
