Anyone have problems with Ghost 2003 and Windows XP Home-Fat32?

[Patty Amas]

Trying to help a friend straighten out his XP OS on his computer. He
is running 1 OS only and disk is formatted as Fat32.

He ran Ghost to create an image and after it started it just kind of
hung from what he said. He was trying to create an image of C: on
another partition.

He then said he rebooted and received the message "No Operating
System".

No CD was in the drive or floppy, etc..

So he just decided to reinstall XP.

ANy one else get this?

I never had had this on Win ME, or my Win 2KK Pro (Fat32).

Thanks
Patty

I use Ghost 2003 all the time with Win XP Pro and have never had that
sort of problem, imaging to other local drives, CDs, DVDs and network
drives. In the dim dark past I also did image partitions onto another
partition on the same drive, but thought that not very safe, as a
drive failure would probably lose the primary and the backup image, so
I soon got an extra HDD just for image backups, and now backup over my
network to another computer.

Sounds almost as though he tried to image the disk, rather than just
the C partition, onto another partition on the same disk - but Ghost
normally will not permit imaging a disk onto itself and usually gives
a warning.

There is a good reason to do fresh installation, you don't backup malwares.

I think he did a Clone as opposed to an image. I never used the clone
option. Perhaps it is the same thing.
