Norton Ghost 15 Doesn't Recognise my C: Drive for backup

Hi,

 

I have been trying to make a backup of my C: drive to an external hard drive, however Ghost does not seem to 'see' my C: drive, even though the program is installed here. Could it be because my external HDD doesn't have the capacity to backup my internenal SSD. I have had a look around this forum but can't find a solution that works for me.

 

I have an Acer Aspire S3, with a SSD inside.

I have attatched a partinfo.txt and 2 screenshots showing my Disk Manager and The Ghost screen where I expcted my C: drive to appear.

 

Thanks to anyone who can assist.

Donald,

 

Partinfo shows  "WARNING: Partition above extends beyond the end of disk."

 

Resize the C: drive 10 MB smaller. This will clean up the end of the partition and Ghost should then see the partition.

That's sorted it for me.

Many Thanks for your help - I've literally spend hours reinstalling Ghost and playing with settings to get it to work.
