HP ProBook won't image

Hey Sages,

 

I have an HP ProBook 6445b laptop which I'm trying to image using my trusty Symantec Ghost 8.0.  (Don't laugh;  I'm a public school teacher.  This is what we have.)

 

I can start the machine up from the CD with an external USB HD plugged in and launch Ghost 8.0, but when I try to use it to create an image of the ProBook's HD, the only local source drive that shows up on the menu is my USB drive.

 

Likewise, if I proceed as if I were trying to restore an image to the ProBook from the USB drive, Ghost displays all the local drives including the ProBook's 2 partitions as possible sources, but after I select an image from my USB drive, only the USB drive is offered as a local destination drive, not the ProBook's HD.

 

Has HP configured these ProBooks so that they cannot be Ghosted?  Is there a way to change these settings so that I can backup my laptop?

 

Thanks much for any help,
