Norton Ghost Problem
I have Xp Pro and SP2
I am having a problem ghosting my C: using Ghost 2003. When I use the Wizard to backup to Cdr it goes well and makes the 6 cds. On verification is says that the file is corrupt to make another file. I have done this 3 times.
If I use the boot disk and try ghosting the partition onto D partition I get an error message that Ghost has encountered an NTFS volume error a log file has not been flushed(536) restart computer and run CHK DSK and try again.
Which I did do and ended up wth the same error message.
Can anyone help please

Hi uppercrust
Thanks for the suggestion. I had a look at the program but it looks as though its for cloning and I only want to back up my C: to cd's and It doesn't appear as though this program will do it.
I have Ghost and is has always worked in the past when I used it on W98SE and would really like to sort out this problem.

It does sound as if the drive is corrupted. Run chkdsk again using the /r switch (ie chkdsk /r). That is the most thorough option, and may put things right.

Thanks SuperSparks it has fixed the problem in so far as I can now get a verified ghost file as long as I don't save it to the cd.
I ghosted a file without using the wizard with the reboot floppy and in the options I segmented it thinking that it would make volumes the size that would fit a cd but they are too big.
I remember with W98se I used ghost.exe -split=650 -auto, as the cds are 700, somewhere to make the files fit
I have no idea where I need to include this.
Any suggestions please

Why can't you use the Ghost Wizard from Windows? I have no trouble with using it to burn images to CDR. I honestly can't remember wher the setting for the file split is in the DOS version - it's a couple of years since I used that. But this excellent article should tell you:

I now have a copy of my C: drive on CDs.
The main problem was that some of the cd's were faulty.
Thought of trying a new batch of cds this morning and success
I would like to thank everyone that posted ideas.
