i tried ghost once awhile back and had this same trouble.

it worked once, but then never again.

my solution was to use PQ Drive Image :D

but now trying to image a 3.5 Linux HDD PQDI isnt doing the job.

i was suggested to try ghost, but one again, it only lists my HDD's as source of image, but not destination.

whats the trick ??


thanx

Which version of Ghost are you using? Are you using NTFS? Older version of Ghost could not save an image to a NTFS partition.

"You have multiple hard drives on a Windows NT system, and you want to save an image of one drive to another drive. However, you have no drives to choose from to save the image file to. All of your drives have NTFS partitions and no FAT partitions."

and people say Ghost is better then Drive image errr :disgust:

It is better than Drive Image if you use the newest version that isnt a home edition...Get 7.5 Corproate for like $50 and all your issues you listed will be solved.....
