Hello, I have a problem. I have recently purchased a Samsung SSD and want to duplicate my OS partition to the SSD with Ghost. Before doing this I needed to copy some other partitions and I have also used Ghost 15 for this and this worked fine. The OS partition also starts fine, but completely in the end, after running for about 100 minutes, always with less than 1 minute to go, the same error appears: "The connection to the recovery agent was lost. The wizard will need to close" and then "Kan RPC niet uivoeren" (translate from dutch: cannot perform "RPC").
I have not made a screenshot of disk management at this time (on the screen below hidden under the norton screen), but I can tell you what it looks like. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I have two internal HDD's of each 250GB. Each with 3 partitions. The SSD shows up and is initialized with the MBR option checkes according to the Samsung/Norton Ghost Manual. My situation of the HDD with the OS partition on it ,is "Case 2" from the Samsung/Norton Manual: a hidden partition with recovery software, no hidden system partition, so all boot files are in the C: partition. The new SSD is connected by USB.
The OS partition is slightly larger than the SSD (149GB vs 119GB), however less than 70GB is used from the OS partition. My conclusion: if this was a problem it would not have started copying.
Also, after clicking both errors away, it states an error code. Forgot to write it down but believe it was #800706eb.
I have tried this for 7 times now, each with no luck. Using the correct settings according to the manual (set active, copy MBR, primary, disk: whatever Norton suggests). The last time I also checked the options for checking for flawed sectors of both source and destination and skipping bad sectors, still with no luck.
Hoping there is someone here who can help because I am at a loss....
