Norton's niggles

[CoffeeMan]

Some help with Norton's Ghost please. When I try to image my XP partition it comes up with " not enough room on drive ".
From what I read in the manual this seems to be because the image is more than 2Gb. I've succesfully imaged under 2Gb before and I can do a Partition to Partition no problem.
There's definately enough room on my destination drive ( 15Gb), which I've just formatted. I've set the options to spanning also. How can I save images over 2Gb?
Thanks

If I were you, I'd first search the <A HREF="http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/consumer.html" target="_new">Knowledge Base</A> for "disk space" information related to your version of Ghost. Whatever you might find could help us narrow down the possible reason(s) for the problem.

It might be something to do with Disk Quota's if that is enabled.

More than likely, you've run up against one of the little annoyances of drive imaging software. I'm not a Ghost user (nor do you mention which version you're using), but I've had it happen in Drive Image as well.

It's not fatal. What it means is that at some point, you told it NOT to delete what is already occupying the space you want to restore into. Generally speaking, drive imaging software wants to see blank unpartitioned/unformatted space to restore an image into.

Take care of that and your problems should go away.
