This has been a pretty frustrating several days. Ghost has always worked for me, though honestly I had better luck with 2000/2003 versions of the software. Anyway, here is my situation:
Running an ASUS P5K with a 3Ware 9650SE-8LPML RAID card. I also have an SSD in the system that I use for scratch space, doubt it's relevant but adding for completeness. OS is Win7 Pro 64 bit.
System as backed up:
8 disk RAID5, 320GB/disk. 50GB C: partition, remainder split between D: and E: partitions, ~1TB each. Note that this system was never set up with the system recovery partition.
Backed up using system recovery disk created with Ghost 15, including latest x86 RAID driver. Verified image files, everything seemed to be wonderful.
I decided to increase the size of this RAID by replacing all of the drives with 2TB units. Raw capacity after the RAID BIOS finished building the array with nothing allocated, ~12.73TB.
So, I confidently booted off of my Ghost 15 recovery CD and the following message appears during the "Loading Drivers" portion of the startup:
Text of the error to help future searches:
Exception processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x762392A0 0x00000004 0x762392A0 0x762392A0
OK, not so good. Not Happy. The system is down and I cannot use the same method to build a recovery CD with a different driver. I still have a recovery CD from Ghost 14, this had the same version RAID driver that the system had been running with when it was backed up. So, I booted off of the Ghost 14 recovery disk and I was able to start up, find my recovery point for the C: drive, and select the restore options. I checked all of the options, including Primary Partition, Resize(to 725GB), Set to active partition, restore signature, restore MBR. The restore seemed to go well all the way up to the end. I found this message on the screen when I looked at it this morning:
Again, here is the text of the error to help future searchers:
Error EA3902DC: Attempt to handle too many NTFS attributes.
I found the two posts below which mention this second error but do not seem to apply to my situation; they seem to apply to the scenario where the user attempts to restore to space that has already been allocated:

Before leaving for work I fired up the Win7 CD, loaded the raid driver, and started the "Startup Repair" process on the system recovery menu:

I don't have a lot of faith at this time that it's going to work, so I am proactively posting here in hopes that there is something else I can try when I get home from work in about 6 hours. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. TIA.
