Norton Ghost problem

[jpetermann]

Did not where else to post this...

Any else seen this and know how to fix it? I Ghosted my 2 WD 80 gb se (set up in a raid 0 config) to a 40 gb Maxtor. Ghosting went fine. I booted to the Maxtor while the hpt raid controller was still hooked up, and all was fine. I disconnected the raid controller and booted up and it froze up right before it was to display the user icons in XP. I really wanted it to boot up all the way so I caould test something out. Any ideas at what the problem is? When I booted the first time to the maxtor, it "found new hardware" and recognized the maxtor. Then it asked me to reboot, which I did and it did fine. That is when I disconnected the hpt controller.

Thanks for any help,
PJ

The hangups you are having: One drive setup needs a raid driver, one doesn't. Also, if you allow windows to "see" the other drive before you start the clone it gets a bit wierd.

Here's a Enterprise Ghost 7.5 link that describes the procedure a bit. I'm about halfway through doing something similar. I can give you more details on how it went after the weekend.

The link

I'm doing this:
1. going from 2x40gb raid 0 array to a single 80 gig.
2. going from 2x40gb raid 1 array to a single 80 gig
3. Using the above 4x40gb to setup a raid 5
4. Going from one of the 80's to the raid 5
5. Backing up the other 80 to the raid 5
6. Putting the 2x80's in a raid 0 and then moving the backup from the raid 5.

Whew....lots of chances to f*ck up eh? In one respect my situation is a bit easier: I'm keeping raid 0 and all the necessary drivers, just changing disk size.
