I have a 466 GB HHD with 20 GB used as part of the OS. The rest is free space.
I have created an image of this drive. The image contains only the 20 GB.
I have formatted the drive into two partions, One at 60GB for the OS and the other to be used as a data storage.
Then I attempted to use Ghost to restore my 20 GB image of the 466 GB drive into the 60 GB partition, ghost reaches 99% complete as reported by the progress bar, with 1 second left in the timer and never completes the operation. I left it running for 24 hrs without luck.
Is there a limitation where if the image made was for a 466 GB partition, then the restore target has to be the same or larger?
Can ghost restore an OS image to a smaller partion?
Your commenst are most appreciated.
Setup:
Windows XP Pro - SP2
Ghost 10
Thanks.
