Backup fails. Sometimes.

I have Ghost 15 set up to backup on weekdays.  I'm a newb to this product.  I was having problems with a hard drive and quickly downloaded Ghost and made a complete system backup.  Yay!!  Next day hard drive completly crashed.  Bought 2 new hard drives.  Setup one as primary then used Ghost recovery to grab the image I had just made and stored to my external drive.  Loaded that to new hard drive and viola!  Ghost had saved the day.  I then added my second drive, called it D: and made a backup from C: to D: manually, then set up the job to run automatically.  (Windows 7 Ultimate.  HP Pavillion.)

 

I think some of the issue may be that I THINK my original C: had a D: partition that I think contained a factory image from HP.  Now my new hard drive, which is the recipient of the Ghost image restore has a primary partition and 9.5 GB unallocated partition.  I didn't create that.  It must have come from the Ghost restore.  

 

As you can see from the history, sometimes it works.  Other times it doesn't.  Based on what I read about this error message, should I try to get rid of the 9.5 GB unallocated space by tacking it on to the C: partition using that Boot It tool?

 

Thank you
