I installed Firefox 9.0.1 and PDF Converter 7.2 and, when I rebooted, the scanning drives message lasts 15 minutes. Is it because it is scanning a 1tb hdd and 1 tb external drive? Never did this before.

Hi,
Ghost scans all drives every time you boot. I'd be guessing but I think that the new drives & content needed to be cataloged. If I'm wrong one of our 'real' Ghost experts will let both of us know what is really happening.
Stay well and surf safe
Thanks. It finally stopped but my confusion comes from the disks not being new - Ghost had run an image backup successfully earlier today. Go figure.

Hi,
If this was a one-time-incident I'd say that it was the phase of the moon is getting involved. If it happens again I'd start thinking about doing a few more in depth checks on hardware and some software verification. I have to assume that you are doing regular full scans with your Norton product and another compatible scanner like Malwarebytes free scanner which can be found here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free a second opinion is never a bad thing 
Happens every time I start or reboot the computer. Never did before. It's as if it needs to scan the entire drvie before displaying the "Backed Up " flag.

Leo14,
The delay between startup and the green flag is normal. The length of the delay is not. Have you run full scans with your Norton product and the above recommended Malwarebytes scanner? I have several disks installed, both internal and external USB drives and it takes two to three minutes to get the flag.
Looking forward to your responses.
It shouldn't affect your backups. A couple of things you can try: If you changed your backup destination at all, it may be looking for old images that don't exists anymore. Try clicking TASKS > MANAGE BACKUPS DESTINATIONS. From here, delete any old destinations. You can also click TASKS > OPTIONS > EXTERNAL DRIVES, and cleanup any old drives you are not using anymore.
Solved - back to normal.
I previously ran chkdsk and it found bad cluster which Ghost had to the recatalog and itb takes 15 mins to process.
Thanks to all.
