Nearly two months ago I thought I had this problem solved. (See http://community.norton.com/t5/Other-Norton-Products/Customized-recovery-disk-won-t-boot-Ghost-14/m-p/316104#M27734)
Now it has recurred.
My Symantec Recovery Disk (customized) will not boot when all of my memory is installed. All of the memory tests good.
I have 3 Gb of memory (see below), the maximum my motherboard can handle. I have the latest BIOS revision. Everything works well. The memory tests "OK" in BIOS, and Windows recognizes it.
But when I try to boot my recovery disk, it consistently freezes at the same point — about halfway through the loading shown by green bars on a progress meter.
If I remove 1 Gb of memory, the recovery disk boots with no problems. It's a workaround, but I'd rather not have to do it.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solution?
