I shut it down and rebooted and started over. It's now at 75% and stuck - the way that I know that it's stuck is that the light on the external hard drive is not moving - when data is being copied to the external hard drive the light "moves" from left to right.
If anyone has any insight into why it just hangs after awhile, even if it's a guess, I would be very appreciative.
I admit I get impatient quickly, to my demise I'm sure.
Thanks.

If you have not, have a look through the threads here since you are not alone but I'm not a Ghost user and I can't help.
See what other users can contribute or Norton Staffers when they get back in force after the weekend!
Thanks for the suggestion…it’s just so frustrating as I have restarted the process again - it got stuck at 93% and when I started it again it got stuck at 17%.
I'm confused -- how dows this thread fit in with your other one:

where you have the solution, you say.
I had this same problem and it turned out to be bad sectors on the drive itself. Ghost runs fine until it runs into those bad sectors then it just hangs. My guess is that that is why you get stuck at different points. Run all the diagnostics you have on the drive and make sure it's good. Try another drive if you have it. That's what I did and now it runs fine. I made a suggestion to the Norton folks that they run a quick check of the drive before running Ghost. Their response was that the user can do that himself. Problem is, my backups happen at 3:00AM. The bad sectors was really bad for the performance of my machine. Every time Ghost wanted to create a quick recovery point it would ground to a halt and I'd have no idea what's going on.
Good luck,
bob
I’m having the exact same issue as pterry with Ghost 14. Can defrag of my C drive fix the bad sector problem?
Hi,
do you have SP1 installed? And another question: Were you able to create a full backup without any problems before?
Cheerio
Lars
I’m running Windows XP with SP2 and yes it ran OK before but now hangs up any where between 25 to 90% of the recovery point being created.
Hi,
try it with chkdsk c: /f And then try your backup again.
Little Vista Howto to find the console: I searched via start menu for cmd and executed it.
Then I typed chkdsk c: /f
Cheerio
Lars
When I read the "read me" notes it said to be sure to check "ignore bad sectors" which I did. I got a phone call from a level 3technician at Norton who is going to call me tonight. He said he could fix it remotely. I'll let you know what he does.
I was going to install SP1 until I read “be sure to back up your files before installing SP1” - that’s why I have not installed SP1, I’m waiting until I have everything backed up.

Error E0BB0147: The operation "Snap Volume" is not currently enabled for the volume" - that's what was solved.
I had assumed that this cured the hold problem too ...... ?

Not totally - it's still getting hung up but at different percentages - 66, 76, 81, 93. Still waiting for the Symantec guy to call me tonight ... I don't get the error message anymore though.
It's possibly your firewall. Are you using Norton Internet Security? If so, check your log and you might find Ghost is being reported as a Trojan and being blocked, disable the Intrusion Protection and try again.
Lars,
Thanks! Recovery point creation was successful!!!
The chkdsk and setting "ignore bad sector" on the recovery point settings did the trick.
I was about to give up on Ghost after a weekend of messing with re-installs of Ghost.

I'm encouraged then. I'm getting ready to run chkdsk. Wish me luck!
What's the position on checking for bad sectors -- on the drive you are backing up to and on the drive you are backing up from? On the latter is there not an instruction to ignore them in backing up?

No idea if that would help .....

There is a place when you are setting up your backups with Norton Ghost to check "ignore bad sectors." I think it's under one of the advanced buttons.
I did a check disk last night of the c and d hard drives on my laptop and voila! everything backed up like a dream - while I was sleeping. Now that's punny. The check disk took about 2 hours or so and seemed to be what was needed.
So the issue is solved. Very happy!! Now to adding SP1 for Vista.
