I have a system running W2000Pro (all SP and patches installed). It
has 2 drives, both IDE

1: 8 gig, NTFS partitioned into
C: (7.5 gig) where W2000 is installed and I boot from. This has
approx 5 gig of data.

D: (.5 gig) which has a 495 meg swap file

2: 6 gig, single FAT32 partition.

I routinely image disk 1 on to disk 2 as a backup. This is through a
boot floppy (actually, a bootable CD I created, as diskettes are
unreliable).

I'm using Ghost 2003 with latest Liveupdates applied.

When I tried to restore the disk, I get the following error:
Error Number: (25058)
Message: Unable to locate enough contiguous free space to load run.
Increase the destination partition size or run Ghost with -NTC-
switch.

I made no changes to hardware between creating the image and trying
to restore the drive 1.

I tried twice, one with the default partition sizes as suggested by
Ghost. When I saw the msg, I tried the restore again, this time
increasing the size of D partition to 550 gig. I get the same error.

Anybody seen such things with Ghost 2003?

Are there any switches that I should use with Ghost 2003 when
creating images (like -NTC- ) ?

I want maximum reliability (speed is not that important as I'm
imaging to a hard drive ..).

Will a "test" of the image tell me in advance if such problems are
likely to occur on restores?
