Can anyone help with a problem I have with Ghost 14. I have used the older versions of ghost an found then to be great.
I made a ghost image of an Acer laptop C drive with no problems and restored the image to the same drive perfectly . So I then replaced the old 60 Gb drive with a brand new 160 Gb drive and restored the image. Not only did the laptop not boot up with the drive intacted, it could not find the new hdd in the bios or with fdisk(no fixed disk present). Somewhat puzzled I tried everything I could think of to identify the new hdd but only ended up with the same old - no fixed disk present.
Next I removed the dead new hdd and installed an old 40 Gb hdd, checked it in the laptop bios and also with fdisk and no problems, so I decided to try the norton restore of the previous image and it did the same thing, I can now not find the 40 Gb hdd - no fixed disk present.
I decided to go back to basics and create another complete image of the C drive in case the first one was faulty even though it did restore to the original drive perfectly. I tested the restore of the new image once again and it worked perfectly. so I installed another brand new 160 Gb drive (which showed up in the bios perfectly with all partitonsand with fdisk, same as the last new drive). Did the restore, and it did the exact same thing -no fixed disk present.
So now all I have achieved is the original drive back inthe laptop and three hdd that cannot be read by any computer which makes them sort of useless !!!!
What is going on !! This is getting expensive
Thanks
