X1 Carbon Imaging with Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5/WinPE

Okay, so I'll try to be detailed while being brief (if that is possible.)
I have a new Lenovo X1 Carbon that needs to be imaged using GSS 2.5.
The only ethernet connection on this machine is a USB-to-Ethernet dongle. The model is an Asix Ax88772b. I am able to PXE boot to WinPE, but there is not an IP Address when booted to WinPE. I'm assuming this is because WinPE does not have the correct driver.
I found this forum article: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/lenovo-x1-carbon-imaging-ds-71-ghost and tried downloading the attached driver. I tried downloading the Lenovo driver from their site. I tried exporting the driver from the copy of Windows 7 that came stock on the machine. I tried downloading Lenovo's SCCM driver, AND I tried downloading the XP, Vista, and 7 driver directly from Asix's site.
Whenever I try to import these into WinPE via the Ghost Boot Manager, it says "Failed to import driver (driver name). Failed to find any drivers to add."
I have successfully added drivers to the preboot images previously using these steps:http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...
I have also tried throwing the drivers from these sites onto a flash drive, PXE booted, and used the "drvload" command to test them. WinPE says they loaded successfully. However, I am still not able to obtain an IP address.
My brain hurts and I'm frustrated. Any help? Any at all? Because you would be my hero. I would yell your name from the rooftops.
Thanks.

Ghosting of X300 SSD drive through Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5

I have downgraded my X300 from Vista to XP Pro SP2. Now I want to ghost it thorugh Symancte Ghost Soltuion Suite 2.5, what I did, I created an image and place it to our storage area. Now when I restore that image on another x300 and start that laptop, it is giving an error "Signature Faliure". I used ghost -ib switch also but it didn't work.
Is there any another way to create or restore image of SSD?

T420 with Symantec ghost 11 is not working

hi,
I installed XP SP3 from scratch i sysprep'd the image and ghost it to network but when i try to ghost it back i get the error "error disk not found" like it can not read the MBR, now if i put it on older like T410 it works. For some reason it wont read a disk in T420
I checked the BIOS and moved it to Legacy (UEFI) but it wont solve the problem
any ideas? Is Syamntec even compatible?

Ghost 11 does not support with the EFI/GPT setup on the newer Thinkpad and Thinkstation properly. Legacy mode doesn't solve that issue, at least, not for me. Ghost 11.5 (included in Ghost Solution Suite 2.5) does.
I've been having other issues with Ghost 11.5 on a x220 though, as it won't recognize the Intel PRO 1000 network adapter, and since we're doing network deployments here, well that's a problem.
If I were you, I'd wait before buying 11.5 until it's confirmed to work with your computer.

Satellite Pro L100: Ghosting with Symantec Ghost Suite 1.0

Hi all,
Have brought 50 pro L100's hoping to able to just set one of them up then ghost the image to the other's.
I can't get Ghost to work at all, the boot disk binds to the Nic no problems, but when it starts to load the dos based ghost console it just freezes and won't go any further.
have tried the -FNI switch, 3Com bootservices, PC Dos, and various versions of MS DOS, am quite stumped to why it's not working.
Have got 15 Pro A20's and had no problems ghosting them, it's strange, is there something I've missed??
Thanks
Jay

I had exactly the same problem not so long ago. I managed to get to the bottom of it after much much frustration!!!
The L100 uses SATA, ghost doesn't understand all SATA drives and needs a little help to know where the drive is and how it works. So, when you launch ghost you need to launch GHOST.EXE -NOIDE
This will definetly work, you owe me big time!

W510 Cloning woes -- Ghost Solution Suite 2.5, Windows 7 x64

I am having some maddening issues deploying Ghost disk images to a new w510 I picked up. We have several T510 and W510 systems in our inventory that I've successfully taken from and deployed to images of XP 32-bit. I have a Windows 7 x64 image that was taken off of a W510 4319-2NU. That model type was unavailable for the most recent purchase so I ordered a W510 431964U, which is pretty much the same except the amount of RAM.
I never get an error when creating an image. I'm taking a full disk image so I'd imagine all partitions are being picked up.
Every single time I attempt to deploy the 7 x64 image to this machine I get a CRC error from Ghost. I've tried all levels of compression in taking the image, including none, and the problem persists. To be sure I've tried different NIC drivers I've tried the Ghost universal UNDI DOS-based boot disk, the Linux-based boot disk, and the WinPE based boot disk and all fail at some point. I have the SATA mode in the W510's bios set to Compatibility mode. I've tried different ghostcast servers with the images stored on different drives or servers.
Next week I intend to try a disk-to-disk clone via a eSATA hard drive dock. I tried direct cloning to a USB-attached spare drive but it (Ghost) could never find the external drive.
I'm beginning to wonder if there's a RAM or other problem with the brand new W510, yet in my testing I *was* able to deploy an XP 32-bit image to it. So now I'm questioning whether or not the problem is starting at the time that I create the image (since that succesful XP image was created on a different system). But as I reported above, when I take 7 x64 images from this machine ghost reports no errors.
Any thoughts? Am I missing something simple but obvious?

Camarones, I'll throw out several ideas, and perhaps some will be helpful.
First, presumably you ran Ghost's verify function on the Win7 64 image that you created.
One problem you're going to run into is that the size of the sleep file used to store the memory contents when you put the machine to sleep will be wrong. However, this should be similar to what you'd run into when you upgrade RAM.
Another problem is that Windows Vista and Windows 7 use a different anti-piracy mechanism than XP. Apparently, Vista & 7 compute some kind of key during installation, which is based on the hardware configuration of the machine. That key is likely then stored in the master boot record. So if you change various undocumented aspects of the hardware, the OS install will no longer be valid. As far as I know, Ghost does not know how to deal with that. You should be able to repair that problem using an authentic Win7 installation disc from Microsoft, except Lenovo doesn't provide this.
Also, you need a newer version of Ghost than you did with XP. I'm not familiar with the current state of Ghost. Make sure that whatever version you're currently using explicitly supports Win7. Acronis True Image is another option, and probably costs less than the time you've spent so far trying to get Ghost to work.
Also, the BIOS of the W510 contains a certificate that authenticates the copy of Windows that shipped on the machine. And this certificate varies from one production unit from the assembly line to the next unit. We know this, because Lenovo accidentally released a W510 BIOS update last year that corrupted that certificate, causing Windows to become unauthorized. The only solutions were to a) live with having to beg Microsoft for reauthorization each time you did things like change the hardware or update the BIOS, b) replace the motherboard, or c) install a new full retail copy of Windows.
Also, because you're transfering a full disk image, the file contains each byte of data of each sector of the hard drive, whether a file was stored in that byte or not. Ghost is expecting to install that image onto precisely the same hard drive. That's often going to be a problem if you try to install it on a non-identical hard drive, due to different drive geometry, etc. Also, that Ghost image will include the drive's master boot record, which may or may not be correct for the new machine. You might have better luck using an image of just the occupied portions of the hard drive (which probably won't include the swap file or the sleep file).
Finally, it may be that trying to clone a pre-installed copy of Windows 7 from one machine to another will be problematic since, like I said, Win7 has a different anti-piracy scheme than XP. Plus a pre-installed copy of Win7 may not be designed to be clonable to a new machine, for some of the above reasons. Of course, you need to pay for authorized copies of Windows 7 for the machines you're running it on. You might have better luck with a copy from Microsoft that's designed to be deployed to multiple machines.
So the problem you're seeing right now with the CRC error from Ghost may be related to one or more of the above. It may also be only the beginning of your problems.
You could also try just swapping the hard drive from one machine to the other, and see what happens (back it up first, of course). This should give you a quick idea of all the problems you're likely to run into.
Good luck!

T520 Symantec Ghost Problem

Hi, I have just gotten the new Lenovo T520 and am very pleased with it. But I have stumbled upon an irritating problem. I am having problems Ghosting the machine.
I have Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 and have been using Ghost Cast for a couple of years now. What the problem is, is that the PC fails to even load PC-DOS Ghost Image, so I turned to using WinPE. The problem here is that If I try to join a session It fails to find an Ip-adress. It only gets a 127.0.0.1 Ip adress which clearly states that it didn't get anything from my DHCP server.
I also tried editing the WinPE image and adding the drivers to the network card which I found on Lenovo's Driver site. But this to did result in the computer not being able to obtain Ip-adress. Just the 127.0.0.1.
Lenovo T520 Specs:
Lenovo T520
Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
TYPE 4240-4CG
Does anyone here have the same problem? Any suggestions to what I might do to fix my problem?
Thanks in advance for any replies

Ghost may have a problem with the new Sandy Bridge machines.
Note that the he T420, T520 and W520 have a UEFI BIOS (1, 2, 3), which may be a factor, although I believe you have the option of selecting either UEFI or a legacy BIOS mode.
Anyway, you now know everything I know about the issue. You may want to post your problem in the abovereferenced Symantec forum. Good luck!

Using still images with Final Cut (and the apple suite in general)

I have had a re-occuring and long term problem that has caused me many lost hours of head scratching and work arounds, and as of yet I have not been able to come up with a good solution.
Its to do with integrating still images with the Final Cut suite.
If I receive a high quality image from a client to use in their video and I then try importing it into Final Cut and animating it, it always ends up looking like a pile of ahem. Often I will get "swimming" lines appear across fine detail on the image, and parts of it will flicker as it moves across the screen. For instance, if I have a picture of some blinds or other fine detail (especially horizontal and vertical lines), when I add a grow and throw movement to it the detail will become very noisy - buzzing and flickering like mad.
I have found I can counter this by resizing the image in photoshop to a resolution closer to SD video (700w or 500h) - but I always end up losing detail, and the flickering and noise is only reduced, not eliminated. Other things that have helped are blur effects applied at a very low level, like 0.5 blur, so its not noticeable visually, but Final Cut seems to treat it differently and quieten the noise and flicker down.
However, all of these workarounds are ultimately still giving a reduced quality product.
Also, this problem is not necessarily constrained to Final Cut, I am currently fighting DVD Studio Pro because it is murdering the text quality in a stills slideshow I am creating - and in this situation there is no animation being applied. No matter what file type (psd, jpeg, tiff, png...) or size I output the text and images from Photoshop in, the moment DVD studio pro gets hold of it, it turns to cripe.
For a while I was putting it down to the fact that I usually edit in SD (PAL) formats, and there just wasn't the resolution available to reproduce fine detail. However, I do often see other people achieving pin-sharp fine detail on still images and text in SD formats (the Apple templates are a good example)
So, my question to you, oh great and high boffins, if you are dealing with still images and text, how do you do it? How do you work around any noise problems you have, and how do you produce those pin-sharp images (both moving and still) I see in other professional productions?
Quad G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

still images with too high a resolution will always cause problems. this is due to the detail of the image being finer than the scanline of the tv can display ... obviously this will caise the image to flicker as these details alternately appear and disappear as and when the scanline can display them. as you have discovered, the answer is to apply a very small blur, the effect being that the detail is spread by the blur such that the scanline can dislay it correctly.
text issues are often rooted in the same problem ... unless the text is placed very carefully (whole even number on the y axis) then the quality may be impaired due to the resulting interlacing/scanline issues

Network driver for Symantec Ghost with new X240

Good morning,
I just got in a couple of X240 laptops and I want to use Symantec Ghost to image them. I use the Ghost Console TFTP boot option. Which driver should I add to the image so that I can get the two to interact?
-March

You will need to add a Vista based 32 bit driver through the Ghost Boot Wizard and then rebuild the boot package. GSS currently uses WinPE 2.0, which is the Vista version of WinPE. If there are no Vista drivers available for the NIC, then using DOS as the PreOS may be the solution.

T400 keeps restarting after being re-imaged with Ghost

I built an XP image with the recovery disks from Lenovo.
Now I'm trying to dump this image on to other T400's that are straight out of the box and after the image is done loading the laptop will just keep restarting.
Please help.
Configuration:
- hard drive is set to ACHI (defualt)
- did a full disk image when dumping down.
I don't get a flashing cursor or error message the laptop will just restart aftee the Lenovo Screen.

ashaikh, welcome to the forum,
how did you create the image? Did you capture the 4 boot blocks using the -IB switch?
There is a tip, a bit old and you can ignore the part about setting the predesktop area to disabled, but it should hopefully help you.
Partition does not boot after being restored with Norton Ghost
The title may also not seem to be 100% relevant. The important part is the -IB switch - See this thread.
Hope this helps

Lenovo S300: will I have trouble creating a backup image with Acronis

I'm thinking of buying a Lenovo S300
Very cheap and lighweight
I want to update all settings (Windows mainly) and then create a backup image that I can always go back to
Can I do this? Will I have any problems?
I bought an ASUS laptop with no disc drive... and basically, there was no way I could boot up with an external DVD drive or USB
I just wanted to make sure before I purchased
Thanks
Omar

Hi
Which application do you use to create the image?
I use the Symantec ghost and Im very satisfied. I have created an image file which was placed at the second application and if something going wrong Im able to install the OS from the image file.
Furthermore this unit support RAID and the RAID driver must be installed to recognize the HDD.

Can't open CS2 image with photoshop

I had this camera, Canon 50d, for little more than two years.
Now it is time to start working with Raw image and can't open the image with Photoshop.
But I could open with EOS utility but want to work with Photoshop.
thanks for reading and advice pleae

Photoshop CS2 will never directly open a Canon EOS-50D raw file. The raw files from every camera are different and your camera was designed after the Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw application stopped receiving updates.
This list is pertinent:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your images indirectly.
Download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 (Mac)
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 (PC)
Whenever you have a folder full of raw 50D images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all the files to DNG format. You will have to select the proper compatibility setting.
You can now open the DNG files with Photoshop CS2's Camera Raw converter.
Just as an aside, the Camera Raw converter from the latest version of Photoshop delivers images of higher quality, so you may want to consider moving up to Photoshop CS6. Unfortunately you will have to pay full price; there's no Photoshop CS2 -> CS6 upgrade discount.

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.
