Hi to all
That's exactly the same happen to me, but on an Acer Aspire 3020 notebook.
I bought a new HDD and I cloned the old one, at this point the troubles arise giving me something to do for 3 days!
Partition 1: 2,25Gb PQService formatted in EISA (without letter)
Partition 2: 40Gb (C)
Partition 3: 78Gb (D)
If I try to recover all three ghost images at the same time, at 83% the process locks asking me the recovery CD, I tried to insert all 3 Acer Recovery cd's but nothing to do.
If I try to recover just partition 1 and 2, it stops at 99% asking the same, in this case, cancelling the request, the system then boots in windows quitely, but all the remaining HDD space available for partition 3 is not recognized by windows (and it's splitted in two without drive letters)
So, in the last scenario, I have to use a partitioning application to format, merge and assign the drive letter to the remaining unallocated space, but if I try to restore just the partition 3 image, I get the same issue as described before; in this case, to fix also this step, I have to reinstall the old HDD, install Norton Ghost 15, using Ghost explorer extracting all the files from the partition 3 image to an external HDD, reinstall the new HDD and copy back everything from the external HDD to partition D.
As you can image all the Ghost functionality is completely lost making me this upgrade an unbelievable nightmare!!
NOTE: My Acer is old and doesn't have any AHCI feature, everything is just old EIDE (PATA) peripherals
