surfmonkey Posted February 14, 2003 Posted February 14, 2003 Can any norton 2002 ghost users help me with this problem? I have made an image file of my c drive using ghost, but when I try and restore c: from my image file, ghost will not recognize my cd-r drive. It recognizes the drive when making the image, why would it not recognize it going the other way. Any suggestions? I have no homepage.
joegerardi Posted February 14, 2003 Posted February 14, 2003 Did you boot from the floppy when trying to restore, or are you going in through Windows? ..Joe Setup: Korg Kronos 61, Roland XV-88, Korg Triton-Rack, Motif-Rack, Korg N1r, Alesis QSR, Roland M-GS64 Yamaha KX-88, KX76, Roland Super-JX, E-Mu Longboard 61, Kawai K1II, Kawai K4.

not Cereal Posted February 14, 2003 Posted February 14, 2003 your floppy needs a generic cd-rom driver on it (and i use macs)
NOT Bolt Rifles Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 If you have access to a win98 machine you can make a startup disk and it will have cd-rom drivers on it. controlpanel/add remove programs/start disk tab.

surfmonkey Posted February 15, 2003 Author Posted February 15, 2003 Ahh yes, you're right, I'm a total dumb-ass. I didn't realize it required separate drivers to read from the cd, as opposed to just burning the image file to cd. :D I have no homepage.
surfmonkey Posted February 15, 2003 Author Posted February 15, 2003 Hey, what happens if the image file is bigger than the partition. Will it not work, or will it write over any partitions in the way? I have no homepage.
vintagevibe Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 One of the choices for making a Ghost boot floppy is to have it boot with CDROM drivers. It sounds like you made the wrong type of Ghost boot disk.

It will not damage any other partitions.

I didn't realize the drivers for reading the cd were on a different boot disk from the drivers for burning to cd. Now I know. I have no homepage.
surfmonkey Posted February 15, 2003 Author Posted February 15, 2003 Ahhhh System back to normal. I love you Norton Ghost. :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: And thank you fellow forum members too. :) I have no homepage.

loudist Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 With ghost you can also make a bootable CD with the image on it. It takes changeing the boot order setting in the bios to boot off of the CD, no sweat though.
