Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage () We are using Ghost ver 7.5 or something like that. This has worked fine a hundred times in the past. I create a network boot disk with the ghost wizard. I boot the computer with it. Once i get to the A prompt I type ghost.exe and it loads the ghost program.

Works everytime fine. Today I am trying to ghost a new computer.

So i created a new boot disk with these broadcom netxtreme drivers. It boots fine and maps a network drive fine. However, when i put the ghost program floppy in and type ghost.exe at the a prompt, the cursor just goes down the next blank line. It blinks and just hangs there.

The ghost program doesn't load. It just hangs on that screen, ad infinitum. Is this a PC Dos memory problem?? If so how to i resolve it? Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage () I found an older version of the ghost.exe from 1999. When I launch that one the program actually loads.

However, when i try to create the image it errors saying, NTFS Error: Error reading FILE_VOLUME MFT record. I just can't win. Any idea why i'm getting this error? The ghost exe that was hanging is from 2001. When I check the properties on it, it was created on Dec 1, 2001. > What happens if you boot using the Ultimate Boot CD, > and selecting Bart's Network Boot on that, and then > run ghost from a floppy after that has booted? I booted from Ultimate Boot CD got to my network, mapped a drive, and then ran the ghost.exe from the network.

It hangs too. Just like the other way.

- if you're using Caldera DOS try different DOS version - does Ghost load with a clean boot diskette (so without network)? - how much free mem after loading NIC drivers etc. - that kind of stuff. Then of course you check the Symantec KB to see if this is some kind of known problem.

If you have an IDE and an SATA drive, or only IDE drives: -FNI Forces Ghost to use the BIOS to gain access to the IDE drive. If you have an SATA drive and no IDE drives: -NOIDE Disables access to IDE devices.

Same problem. > New PC you say? Does it have onboard SATA? I have had to either disable SATA (if its unused) or adjust the settings to 'legacy mode' for ghost 7.5 to work.

Really, you should try to put more effort into your post like spending the 1 minute it takes to find out EXACTLY which version you are running.
