Ghost 15 hangs in creating Recovery Point at 13% after prior success on a different day

Hard drive is made up of multiple Partition. Ran a previous Ghost 15 backup of the main partition containing the boot and operating system successfully about 10 days ago.  Attempted a backup of 5 partitions, which are contiguous, and ghost Stopped at 13% and stayed there for about an hour.  Attempted to close Ghost & reboot the machine and, ghost and XP froze and could not reboot without a reset. Autochk, chkdsk, , ran & found NO errors. Have no idea what is wrong?? Does anyone have an idea what is going on??
