Ghost v.15 (Win XP): unbootable from USB but bootable from Recovery CD

Dear all,

 

I created a USB boot disc from the downloaded Ghost v.15 Recovery ISO using ULTRA ISO <write disc image>.

 

When I used this USB key to do back up, there was no problem accesing the GHOST program to create a system image.

 

However, when I used it to do a restore, there was an error message:

 

"windows - no disk exception processing message 0xc0000013 ........."

 

The weird thing is (before you say the GHOST image is corrupt etc...) is that when I used a Recovery CD - created from a blank CD by the same ULTRA ISO from the same GHOST v.15 Recovery ISO, that image was restored without any error or error message.

 

Naturally, the USB key was formatted before I created the Boot Disc Image.

 

System: DELL Inspiron 9400, Win XP Pro (x32), Ghost Image is on a separate partition from C:\ drive.

 

Many thanks for clearing this puzzle.

Brian the Guru,

 

Can we stop acting like a bunch of old-time unionists worrying about demarcation / picket line (ULTRA ISO vs. GHOST) ?

 

I raised this question in the spirit of technology & knowledge.

 

If you have some clever technical nous, I am all ears to hear it.

 

I am not here to blame Norton etc...

 

Clearly, the downloaded Ghost Recovery ISO needs to be burned to CD to be used. ULTRA ISO happens to be my choice.

 

You need to focus on the technical issue here: why does the CD work and the USB does not - coming off the same ISO image?

 

Thank you

I don't think UltraISO is doing a good job.

 

Want to try this method?

Thanks Brian.

 

Good job.

 

It remains a mystery to me why the USB key (created by ULTRA ISO from a XP Pro machine) would boot up / restore GHOST images in a Win 7 machine but would flashed an error "Windows - No Disk" booting up into the very same XP Pro machine.

 

I'd try your suggested link soon.

 

Thanks again.
