ghost and ntfs

i tried to ghost a NTFS partition ... i'm a total newbie at ghost, read the manual, but needs little help

i've booted to DOS, and ran the ghost.exe ... ran into ghost (ver 2002), did Disk to Image , and tried to burn it directly to my cdrw,

while the process went on, it gave me error message, that ghosting NTFS partition and shuffling around would result in damaged data, (or some sort of mess like that)

well, i went on despite the warning, and while it tried to burn, it keeps giving me error message that it can't burn, and try using different media... well i've used about 6 cdr kinds, (from generic to Kodak gold) , but nothing works

any important hint that i' should know before tackling it again?, any help would be appreciated..

thanks 🙂
 
Hmm i've never had any problems with ghost, but then i never burned directly to a CDRW... are you sure there's enough room on the CDRW? Have you tried ghosting it directly to your hdd, then burning it onto a CDRW?
 
I have imaged NTFS to a CDR with no problem. The one message is by making a NTFS image you will have to shuffle a mulitiple disk image to look at it in Ghost Explorer. That is a pain, but I only had to do it once. Never seen a message that it couldn't burn. Is Ghost seeing your CDR? Good luck.
 
I used to burn my ghost images onto CDs too but these days HDs are so cheap, I just put my ghost image onto another HD. This way it's easier because you don't need to split the image into multiple segments. and also you can look at it using Ghost Explorer easily. It's unlikely that the original drive and the backup drive will fail at the same time, but if you're worried, use RAID-1 to mirror your destination drive.
 
I've never been able to directly write to CDRW, FAT or NTFS... It burns, but at some point, it always complains about something. The way I do it now is to just create the image to another HD partition and then burn that image in Nero. When I do this, I have to enter something extra in the command line like "ghost -split=640MB" (use -? or -help to be sure) so the image is split up to fit a CDRW disc.
