DR4-A with Norton Ghost 2003 fails

I'm trying to use my new DR4-A DVD-RW player together with Norton Ghost 2003. I am trying to use the feature in Ghost to record an image file directly to recordable CD or DVD. This fails in Ghost with error message 12030 and Error 3 closing CD-R session". 99% of the burning process seem to complete successfully.
Isn't MSI DR4-A supported by Norton Ghost 2003? Is that the problem. Can a firmware upgrade solve my problem?
I do have a solution to my problem. To let Ghost save the image file on an harddrive and then I manually can save this image file on a dvd (burn with Nero). But I would really like to use this nice new feature in Ghost to record image directly to DVD...
Anybody have experience or solution to my problem?
/Regards Michael

some good solutions to flash a firmware without a floppy or a FAT partition:
- boot from a Flash card. Doable depending on the reader/motherboard. I've done it from a USB reader. I just copied the win98 boot disk on it and the firmware and flash program
- create a bootable CD ROM with a RAM drive (there is one on the win98 boot disk). Copy the firmware and flash program in it and fly.
basically, the goal is to get to a DOS prompt and have a media with the need files on. You should be able to access your SD card (or any flash media) from DOS. Just continue checking your volumes (a, b... g... ). If you usually have 2 partitions and a CD (so, C, d and E) the flash drives may be f and above (and you usually have 5 of them...
Guide on HD-Burn:
In Nero, when choosing your new compilation, you have the type of media on your right (CD audio, CD mix...). On top of this column, you have a pull down menu with the physical type: CDR, DVDR or HDburn. (at least, this is how it is on Nero 6).
Formating in FAT:
under win2k/XP, when you want to format a drive(right click on the drive letter and choose format), you get a small menu with capacity on top, then file system (NTFS, FAT, FAT32), cluster size, label. Just choose FAT or FAT32 as the file system. You need to have a partition of less than 32GB to choose FAT32 and less than 2GB for FAT.

VIA Rhine NDIS Driver FOR NORTON GHOST

Hi,
I've got MS KT4AV mobo with integrated LAN (driver is VIA Rhine II Fast ethernet).
I have all the drivers on driver CD and you can download them from numerous sites but it's very hard to get the NDIS / DOS driver.
I need to create disc to boot up norton ghost 2003 to work peer to peer.
I've used numerous other LAN cards and drivers and there NDIS2 drivers have always contained an oemsetup file for with setup information.
All the VIA drivers I've found have no NDIS2 folder and the oemsetup file is huge and is not recognised by ghost when i try to setup a NDIS2 bootable disc.
Below is the setup info i had in with my previous SMC network card NDIS2 driver (which worked fine), but with the VIA Rhine driver the information is about 20 pages long and isn't recognised by norton (and it's not in a NDIS file anyway, it just comes with all the driver files).
SMC1255="SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1255TX)",0,ndis,ethernet,real,SMC1255,SMC1255_nif

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the correct commands so wanted norton ghost to setup the disc (it always has before).
I found a VIA Rhine NDIS2 drive at the link below but this has no oemsetup file and when i just load the DOS file it doesn't work.

Any ides would be appreciated.

well..i still haven't solved it yet, coz Ghost doesn;t "like" the DOS driver...I e-mailed nvidia as well but its becoming a ping-pong match.

Cisco 4507 with VLANs and Norton Ghost

Hi Guys,
I have Cisco 4507 switch with multiple VLANs. The problem is that I can put Norton Ghost in one VLAN and it reimages the client with no problem.
But I want to reimage the clients in all VLANs in one go. Can some of the experts can tell me how to do that?
Thanks in advance.

We have a similar setup. We also have a 4507 with Norton Ghost. In this article on Ghost (Part 1-How Ghost starts the session)(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ghost.nsf/docid/1999033015222425), it saids that ghost client uses broadcast initially to contact the Ghost Server. Since it uses broadcast, the broadcast arent going to traverse VLANs. Thats the point of VLANs is to minimize broadcasts. So in other words, lets say a client on VLAN1 broacasts to communicate with the ghost server. Well, if the ghost server is on VLAN1, then it will work of cource because the server will see the broadcast. If the ghost server is on a different VLAN, then its not going to see the broadcast.
How we get around this is that we have a special NIC on our Ghost Server that allows the ghost server to access more than one VLAN at a time. In other words, the NIC enables trunking from your computer to the switch. So you enable trunking on your switch port for whichever vlans you want the ghost server to access. Then on the ghost server NIC, you set up the NIC to use those same VLANS. Now, the ghost serve will be able to communicate with any computer (ie ghost client) on those VLANS set on the NIC and switch port. The type of NIC that we have is a INTEL PROSet. There are other NICs out there though that have this VLAN capability.

Norton Ghost / K7N2delta-ILSR

Has anyone used Ghost (v7 in this case) to image a RAID 1 NTFS volume or partition on this controller and restored it successfully?
I can image and verify the drive which appears ok, I just don't know of a non-destructive method of telling whether it'll restore back to the stack correctly ... short of breaking the mirror but that's too dangerous.
Having had odd problems with booting various image configurations in the past I don't want to jump in with both feet and sink!
K7N2Delta ILSR
2 Maxtor 120Gb SATA, RAID 1
IDE 1 200Gb Seagate H/D (to take the image)
IDE 2 Sony DVD ROM & Sony DVD RW

" Ghost and RAID
Ghost is not compatible with computers that use RAID. That is, Symantec Ghost 8.0 and earlier, and Norton Ghost 2003 and earlier, do not support RAID controllers on computers that are being imaged. In addition:
* Ghost does not work with software level RAID.
* Although Ghost might work in some limited circumstances with hardware level RAID, Symantec does not support using Ghost for cloning hardware level RAID drives.
* Ghost does support cloning drives that have had RAID removed, such as after you break a mirrored set.
Ghost and hardware-level RAID systems
Although it is not a supported feature, Ghost can sometimes create and restore images to hardware level RAID systems if you load the appropriate DOS ASPI driver to support this. Load the DOS ASPI driver when you create the image file and again when you restore the image file. DOS ASPI drivers can usually be obtained from the RAID hardware manufacturer. For other ASPI driver information, see the document Information on ASPI drivers.
Notes on getting Ghost to work with hardware RAID systems
* Use similar hardware: Restore the image file only to a computer that uses the same hardware as the source computer. Because the operating system needs the drivers for the array, the drives will be inaccessible on the destination computer unless the hardware is the same.
* SCSI or IDE: Ghost's ability to work with RAID arrays is not dependent on whether the array uses SCSI drives or IDE drives.
* Mirrored sets in Windows NT: To clone mirrored sets in Windows NT, break the mirror, run Ghost with the -NTIID switch ( -ntiid ), and then recreate the mirror using the Windows NT Disk Administrator. Note that duplexed disks are a type of mirrored set. See the document Cannot migrate Windows NT mirrored or striped sets to larger drives.
* Mirrored sets in Windows 2000/XP: Symantec Ghost 7.5, 8.0, and Norton Ghost 2003 support cloning a mirrored partition in Window 2000 and Windows XP provided that the source partition is on a Dynamic Disk and the image is restored to a Basic Disk. The restored partition is not mirrored. See the document Ghost compatibility with Dynamic partitions.
* Restore the partition rather than the disk: In some situations, Ghost may be able to restore a partition from a disk image when Ghost cannot restore the disk image."

Qosmio g35 and Ghost 2003 - Help Help!

Hello,
I'm seeking help with my Qosmio G35AV600 (Part PQG30V00p006). I’ve had it for quite a while and it has performed well. It has suffered a fair amount of bit-rot and I'm considering giving it a high colonic with the system restore disk. Before I do this, I want to back up the primary drive. I have both a Toshiba brand USB floppy drive AND a Toshiba brand USB DVD drive. I have Norton Ghost 2003 and a generic external USB drive enclosure and 720gb drive.
Try as I might, I cannot get Ghost to see the USB hard drive, no matter how I start the machine. (I've tried the duze, other USB drivers etc.) I KNOW that this can be done. I am stumped.
If some kind soul out there with first hand knowledge and experience could give me a step-by-step on how to accomplish this I would be eternally grateful.
(I will be cross-posting this same message about a Portege elsewhere.)
Yours truly,
Rob

So do iCloud backups save app data? I didn't know that, so I'll try that out, but before I do, is there anyway I can do that from a computer? The ghost clicks are driving me crazy, so I can't even get into my phone, but are backups from iTunes iCloud backups? Because that's what I did, or are those a completely different thing? I'm just so new to this thing, and to be honest, I'm kind of confused myself

GF4Ti4200 and NORTON GHOST

My new graphics cards were finally shipped to me so I installed them, so far so good. Cause on BlackBird was the MoBo changed, so I booted from my selfmade boot CD and created an image of my XP partition with Norton Ghost 2002. It was done, so I formated the partition and start to install XP. Cause it was necessary to reinstall XP on Bluebird too, I have done the same thing like on BlackBird - maked the image of XP partition. After booting from the CD and started the Ghost everything (graphic, text) was blurry. I was wondering why. After some test with starting the Ghost I found out that on BlackBird was not the mouse driver loaded due an error, but on BlueBird was. Maybe the bios of the GF4ti have some problems with hardware cursors (or something this way ?( ). Could a new bios help? I'm a bit scared of flashing. I didn't flashed my graphics cards before. It is really safe and easy? Please help.

Maybe we understand us not.
It was done on BlueBird and the mouse is on it connected to PS/2. So no USB problem. Maybe BlackBird could have this problem (not tested).
And BlackBird & BlueBird are both standalone PC's, in BlackBird is a 300W EuroCase and in BlueBird a Fortron 250W PFC power supply.
Maybe U joking with the changing PS? Everything works fine in WinXP under full load and you say that a DOS application that use a graphic mode will cause power supply problem? Let me say> :D :D :D :D :D

Ghost 2003 work with SATA?

Here's what I have:
MS Windows XP Pro SP2
MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard
200 GB SATA Seagate HD using one of the NTFS partitions as my primary XP Pro OS.
WD 80 GB EIDE HD used as backup and storage. I don't have enough stuff to actually require that I use all 200 GB on the seagate anyways.
Is there any problem using the above configuration including the SATA drive and XP Pro SP2 with Ghost 2003 for simple imaging and backup?? Yeah, I know Acronis is out there, but I have the opportunity to buy Ghost 2003 for a fair price and if it works, its all I need.
thanx for any feedback

Haven't tried it myself, as I use Image For Windows (www.terabyteunlimited.com) but Ghost will apparently work fine with a SATA drive. See the second post in this topic: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=68856.0

Not able to install Norton Ghost - Lightout within PSU4WH-00700P?

Model : Satellite U840-00700P (PSU4WH-00700P)
Norton Ghost 15 has been successfully installed within Win7, and create an image for backup, but when I try to restore image, there is no problem within win7, but after win7 restarts, Norton Ghost fails to launch restoring process.
Furthermore, when I install Lightout (One feature within Norton Ghost 15) within win7, the installation works fine within Win7, but after win7 restarts, LightOut restore should be listed within window boot manager, but it does not appear at all.
The same procedure has been successful to install within PC with no problem, I have discussed with technical staffs between Toshiba and Norton, the technical issue for not able to install Lightout could be raid 0 setting between SSD and HDD's combination.
Does anyone have any experience on installing Norton Ghost - LightOut within this raid 0 setting between SSD and HDD's combination?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Just Wanted To Verify: SuperDuper is Mac's Equivalent of Norton Ghost?

Coming from Windows land, the two most popular OS image solutions to me were Norton Ghost and, if you are WIndows VIsta, its built in imaging software.
I just wanted to verify that SuperDuper is the Mac equivalent of Ghost. Is that true? It backs up the entire OS X image and can be restored as such if my internal hard drive failed, right?
Are there other solutions?
Thanks.

What Welles points out is a key difference between those of us who use Macs and the poor suffering masses who don't. No matter how screwed up the internal HD becomes, you can always boot from the external clone and, in recent models, that clone can be a Firewire (preferred) or a USB (possible) drive. So you can use the clone to repair the original and, if the worst comes to pass but the internal HD is still usable, simply clone the clone back in. Bootable clones can be made with SD, CCC or even Disk Utility; however, the first two allow you to do differential updates, meaning you can resync the clone against the source, updating just the changes between the two, which takes a lot less time than doing a brand new complete clone all over again (i.e., my MBP is currently occupying 92GB of its HD; using SD and an external FW400/7200RPM HD, it takes about 115 minutes to do a clone).
Note also that if you have a large external HD, you can partition it and store as many different clones as will fit, and if need be, you can select which one to boot from.
Time Machine is useful, since it can automatically take care of backing up the files on an hour-by-hour or even minute-by-minute basis, if your needs are such, but the TM backup volume is not bootable.

Using Symantec Norton Ghost 14 on Bootcamp

Just a bit of information for those of you wondering what to use to backup your bootcamp side of your Apple product.
I use Ghost 14 and I have to say it has been fantastic. It took alot of figuring out and I could not find alot of posts about it so I self taught myself (don't use Symantec Support they are useless) and so thought I would write this to help others. I am not saying this is the best or only way, just the way that WORKED for me. There may of course be other easier ways that I do not know about as I am only amateur myself. Anyone who knows any different / easier way feel free to add comments:
THIS IS FOR WINDOWS XP / XP PRO USERS (RE-INSTALLING AN IMAGE ALREADY CREATED USING GHOST 14)
I have no experience of Vista but would presume a similar path.
1.) First of all you need to create a new partition with Bootcamp Assistant as you would normally do setting the partition size etc.
2.) Follow the instructions and insert the Windows Installation Disk when asked to do so. You have to do this as though you are going to put a brand new copy of XP on as the partition HAS TO BE formatted via the Windows Installation Disk.
3.) When you get top the Format instructions. Choose the Bootcamp partition and format using NTFS or FAT32 whichever is your choice (NTFS recommended).
4.) Once formatted system will restart and commence installing Windows.
5.) Whilst the system is restarting keep your finger on the eject key and eject the Windows Installation Disk.
6.) Insert the Symantec Recovery Disk.
7.) Turn your computer off / restart holding the Option key down until you get the Boot screen.
8.) Choose the Symantec (Windows) Disk
9.) When loaded up click Recover and choose your image and follow the instructions ensuring you have Use as Boot ticked without Disk Signature or MBR ticked.
10.) Wait until the image has been restored and restart holding down your Option Key and Choose the Windows Partition.
11.) You now Boot into Windows and have your Backup Image fully restored onto your Bootcamp Partition.
I have to say I was over the moon when it all worked. Fantastic! Anyone has any problems do drop me a line please.
FOR ACTUALLY INSTALLING AND MAKING BACKUPS IN THE FIRST PLACE JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAME WITH YOUR GHOST 14 SOFTWARE. NO POINT IN PUTTING THAT INFO HERE. THIS IS INFORMATION FOR "INSTALLING" A GHOST 14 IMAGE BACK INTO BOOTCAMP!
Again all I can say is that Ghost 14 Works good with Bootcamp! A great piece of software for the Windows Bootcamp user community. High recommended by me.
Hope this post helps all of you using / planning to use Ghost 14

If Norton Ghost is still under Norton's support, I recommend contacting them as I'm certain they have encountered something similar before.
Do you receive any errors? If so, what are they exactly?
I was not able to find your model notebook exactly. What is the exact model of this notebook?
NOTE: Do not provide the serial number, but providing the product number (not product key) will be sufficient.

LeeCUK:
The [repo_proxy 13] error seems to be a catch-all for BO in that I've worked with this software (XI R2) for 1 1/2 years now and each time I've encountered [repo_proxy 13] it has been for a different reason, thus, you're going to have to apply troubleshooting checks all over the place until you find the problem. In my particular case I just resolved my [repo_proxy 13] error I've been working on this week, and here was my scenario. Our server in the lab died due to a hard drive failure, so we cut our losses and installed a new & more powerful server. When the rebuild was done I could not connect from my laptop to the repository via Designer (good old [repo_proxy 13] error). After much angst, etc, etc I found out that the servers in the CMC (/businessobjects/enterprise115/admin/en/admin.cwrwere">http://<server>/businessobjects/enterprise115/admin/en/admin.cwrwere) were all down except for one (even though CCM showed all servers "up"). When I went to start the servers in the CMC I was prompted for an account, and no matter what account I tried it won't work. So I went back to the CCM servers and stopped them all, then changed the default account it was using from LocalSystem to the administrator account, restarted all servers in CCM, went back to CMC and noted that all servers were now up as well. Then I went back to my laptop and used Designer and was able to successfully log in. Thus, the end of my story, however, it seems that many [repo_proxy 13] errors have different beginning and endings. For instance, a year ago I had the same [repo_proxy 13] error and brought it to BO tech support. They determined that I had to uninstall my client from my laptop, clean out the registry for any references to BO keys, and remove the c:\program files \Business Objects folder, then reinstall, and sure enough it worked in that case, but not in this case when I tried it again. By digging deeper I found out the root cause to my current problem, and voila, I'm in!
Good luck!

T61P: Upgrading 100GB HDD to 250GB HDD using Norton Ghost

Hi, i am planning on upgrading the HDD in my t61p and would like to know, can i use Norton ghost on a desktop pc, with both 2.5" HDD attached to the desktop via USB enclosures, and make an image of the 100gb onto the 250gb? If not this, is there another method of duplicating the HDD's such as making recovery cd's and then using those cd's to place the image onto the new hdd?
Thanks in advance.

Installation using Norton Ghost Image?

Could I possibly use a Norton Ghost Image of Windows XP to install BootCamp, and then upgrade from XP to Vista?
I purchased a manufactured desktop PC several years ago and they provided a Norton Ghost Image. The power supply short circuited about a year ago, and I used a Vista notebook in the interim. I currently have an iMac, but gaming options are not at all optimal with the Mac, so I decided BootCamp was the way to go instead of upgrading the broken PC or building a new one from scratch. Before the desktop shorted out, I had upgraded from XP to Vista, then reverted back to XP using the Norton Ghost image because of some compatibility issues (it was a rather weird PC... ran on two single core Xeon processors).
So that's my story... does anyone have an answer?

I am not sure if you can actually load that image on a boot camp partition however assume for a second that you will be able to load the disk on the partition. The image was made for a PC that you had bought and therefore an OEM version of Windows XP was installed. You will have validation issues. The image will also have drivers to run the pc that you had and will most certainly cause immediate issues with the Apple components.
I know your goal is to immediately upgrade to VISTA however I seriously doubt that you can get your XP installed. Why don't you simply install VISTA instead? You already have the VISTA disk so I asked.

Norton Ghost + Parallels?

Hello,
I just switched over to Parallels from Boot Camp. Before switching I made a backup of my XP install using Norton Ghost 10.0
I have these backup files on both a USB 2.0 and a Firewire external drive.
I have been unsuccessful in restoring my system using ghost 10.0 (mainly getting XP to restart using a startup disc and reading from the external drive).
Has anyone done this successfully??
Thanks.

Just as an FYI... the most recent (and stable) beta of Parallels allows you to use your BootCamp installation:
http://forum.parallels.com/thread5997.html
It actually works quite well and you don't have to have two installations of Windows. I'm not sure how you might be able to restore your Ghost BootCamp image into Parallels. You may find you have problems even if you manage to get it to work as you'll be restoring an image that is using totally different drivers for just about every component. You may just want to start fresh with a clean install... or re-install BootCamp and then just use the BootCamp installation within Parallels (this is really the ideal solution).

Is it possible to restore a norton ghost Windows7 image to a bootcamp partition ?

Trying to setup a dual boot environment on a new Mac Air with MacOS and Windows7 using Bootcamp. Rather than the normal way of installing Win7 from the vanilla install media, is it possible to restore a Norton Ghost image of a different (PC) laptop to the new Win7 partition?

Two "no" on this.
Activation needs to be retail OS. That okay?
Moving Windows to another motherboard almost never works and is buggy and unstable. Been there tried that.
Ghost does not support Boot Camp and the UEFI/GPT scheme used. Nor does Acronis. Paragon Software has come along with Boot Camp support.
