Norton Ghost 15 and bootable GPT drives/partitions

Archive
1

Running Windows 7 64-bit on computer configured to use UEFI and that requires GPT drives.  I booted from the retail media (not installed on the HDD - no room). (I was expecting more options in this mode.)

 

In my attempts to move to a larger drive, I can restore the saved partitions and browse them, but I couldn't boot from them.  I was unable to restore the partitions with the Restore MBR and Make bootable options enabled. (Continued to get errors that Ghost couldn't continue with these options enabled.) Does Ghost 15 work with restoring bootable GPT drives?

Err... I'm so disappointed.  The product description seems to imply greater system compatibility than what the product is truly capable of delivering such that bootable GPT disks with UEFI/EFI bios is not fully supported.  Thank you for the link to the other user's experience.   I had been searching for a few days for such a solution -  I guess I just wasn't using the right word combination.  I was able  to find another solution for this problem and free for personal use.
