Norton Ghost 15.0 SP1 "Cannot save backup properties"

I am using the trial version of Norton Ghost that came with a new SSD that I purchased.

 

I am trying to back up my old HDD to my new SSD. Ideally, I would like to copy my programs, program data, documents, pictures, etc. to the new drive and wipe the old one. i.e., I want to clone the old drive.

 

I have downloaded 15.0 SP1 and cannot get the process started. The two issues that I have noticed so far:

 

1. Manage Backup Destination: There are no drives available to select here.

 

2. If I try to define a new backup:

    a. First, I create a new folder on my new drive like "E:BackupHDD"

    b. Then Run or Manage Backup -> Backup Destination (select the path above)

    c. Then "Custom"

    d. Select "C:\" to backup (including subfolders and all files)

    e. Select the backup destination again and "Next>" to start

    f. I get an error "Cannot save backup properties"

           - Error E1AD78A5: Cannot save backup properties
