Symantec Solution Suite 1.0 + Large Volume

Greetings All,

I have a project to do a mass field deploy on some boxen. They are currently equipped with a 3Ware SATA RAID card and are booting off a single large RAID5 Volume. The Array size is 1.2 TB, reported in windows as 1.09TB.

I have Ghost 8.2 courtesy of Symantec Solution Suite 1.0, and I can sysprep these machines fine, as well as partition and take an image of them. My problem comes when I need to perform a disk load on the target volume, Ghost is reporting the size correctly in the initial screen, then the partition management screen reports the size as -957GB.

I have tried as a single 1.09 volume, and as partitions. It will see the C: partition of 16GB, and a D: Swap Partition of 10GB, but the E partition, or the remaining 830 or so GB is then reported as negative and fails with a "Destination Drive Too Small" message.

I have flashed the SATA RAID card and System to the latest BIOS'es respectively, as well as attempted to make a bootable network CD that will load generic ASPI drivers, but still no dice.

Any help is most appreciated.
