Edit: How come my copy of Norton Ghost doesnt recognize my hard drive?

[Broohaha]

Okay instead of starting two technical threads, I'll edit my original...

I want to ghost my HD after I reformat it (in a couple hours) but the last time I reformatted and installed Norton it didn't work. It gives me this.

A little help?

What version of IE? Have you checked for spyware and viruses? What's your OS and system specs?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I dunno about uninstall, but reinstall can probably be found at http://www.microsoft.com/ie

[Broohaha]

do you even have another partition or 2nd hard drive to dump the image from.

you cant make an image of a hdd and throw it on the same partition.

Yes you can put it on a CD-R. I clone all my backups to bootable CDs. Have you inserted you floppy Ghost boot disk for CD-RW and rebooted into Ghost? Ghost runs in DOS, so you have to boot to the Ghost program. If you read your manual it will walk you through it. I'm just trying to help.

you're better off making a 2nd partition and dumping the image there and then burning to cd.

if you burn to cds the while it's ghosting, your process is gonna be slower.
as follows
- its starts to image drive
- gets to 700 MB (or 650)
- stops imagin
- burns image to cd
