Ghost 12 disk copy ends with "can't finish copy operation" ec8f17b3

Hi,

To increase recoverability I installed a second identical harddisk(250Gb) in my Dell 9200(WinXP3) and copied the C-drive partition to it , using Ghost 12 copy disk (options: check destination disk, primary, driveletter O, include MBR record).

The copy seems to go OK but when checking the destination disk Ghost 12 immediately comes with the message:

"can not finish the copy" error ec8f17b3 : cluster is not assigned.

I saw a similar message in the forum, refering to Ghost 14, suggesting to delete the partition on the destination disk before doing the disk copy, which I did. That suggestion does not solve my problem in Ghost 12.

 

I appreciate any other suggestion and help! Thanks in advance!

 

Additional question: if the copy is successful, what should I do to boot from that second drive ?
