 My DVD Drive:

 

HP DVD Writer 1040d ATA Device

 

 

 Norton Ghost 14:

 

Version  14.0.3.28361

 

When I try to create a special recovery disk this is the error I get:

 Create Custom Symantec Recovery Disk

 

X  Error E7D600007: Cannot locate Gear devices. Error 000009CE: The image was not generated from an MS-DOS 

diskette formatted with /S

 

I was able to create backups to my USE2 drive 500GB untill i got the latest update.

I had the same problem i originaly had in that  my CD disipeared and I had to use this file:

 

To restore the missing CD or DVD drive
On the Windows taskbar, click Start > Run.
In the Open box, type the following:
regedit
Click OK.
The Registry Editor opens.
Scroll to the top of the left pane and click My Computer to select it.
On the Edit menu, click Find.
In the "Find what" box, type the following:
GearAspiWDM
Click Find Next.

Each time an UpperFilters string is found that contains the "GearAspiWDM" value, right-

click the UpperFilters string, and then click Modify. Delete the "GearAspiWDM" value data,

leaving any other value data that is contained in the string.
If an UpperFilters string contains no other value than "GearAspiWDM," you can delete the entire string.
Click Find Next, and repeat step 8 until the string is no longer found.

Exit the Registry Editor.
Reboot the computer.
After rebooting the computer, your CD or DVD drive should be visible as normal.

 

When done the drive showed up again but could not use as backup becouse or error. Not a backup location.

Also could not backup to my external USB2 drive.
Got numerous errors like the one below.

 

Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: My Computer Backup. Error E0BB001B: Cannot lock volume \\?\Volume{3ea226ab-7694-11dc-935b-806e6f6e6963}\ because it contains the OS or has an active paging file.
Details: The volume contains system or paging files.
 

 Also had numerous other errors:

Cant make special restore disk.

When i first  installed Ghost 14 my DVD was not visible. I had used this fix:

 

(To restore the missing CD or DVD drive
On the Windows taskbar, click Start > Run.
In the Open box, type the following:
regedit
Click OK.
The Registry Editor opens.
Scroll to the top of the left pane and click My Computer to select it.
On the Edit menu, click Find.
In the "Find what" box, type the following:
GearAspiWDM
Click Find Next.
Each time an UpperFilters string is found that contains the "GearAspiWDM" value, right-click the UpperFilters string, and then click Modify. Delete the "GearAspiWDM" value data, leaving any other value data that is contained in the string.
If an UpperFilters string contains no other value than "GearAspiWDM," you can delete the entire string.
Click Find Next, and repeat step 8 until the string is no longer found.
Exit the Registry Editor.
Reboot the computer.
After rebooting the computer, your CD or DVD drive should be visible as normal. )

 

The drive is back but i still cant use it for backups!

 

Any help would be appreasiated .

I'm a bit confused; are you making a Custom Recovery Disk, are you using a DVD drive as your destination, or both? For the latter, the message you receive is correct; the DVDs you are using is an important factor in creating a backup to DVD.

 

For the latter, can you elaborate on what steps you are taking in this process? Do any errors occur? Ghost reports all warnings and errors to the Windows Event log. Could you look at the application event logs and check for any warnings/errors from Ghost, Ghost Service, V2i, Volume Shadow Copy Service, etc? Have you run LiveUpdate in Ghost until there are no more updates?

 

I apologize fo the many questions; they will help us determine the cause of the problem. Thanks!
