Norton Ghost 9/2003 doesn't see my partitions

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage (More info?)

When you boot your PC with Ghost floppy, does it see more than one partition
as the source (disk->partition)? What are your partition types (basic,
dynamic)?

Well mine doesn't have a floppy drive... but I remember when I booted
with an image cd I had made previously, it saw all my partitions.
They are all basic partitions.

I am running XP SP2 using Ghost 9.0. I have created an Image of my C:
drive and copied it to an F: drive successfully using Ghost 9. Both HD
are NTFS.
However when I boot off the CD and try to restore the image from F: to
C:, Ghost does not find the F: drive.
It did find it when running the copy from the OS.
It can obvously see NTFS when I dumped it while the OS was up and
running, however when booted from CD it doesn't find it.

Then please describe in steps how did you use Norton Ghost 2003 to check if
it sees your partitions?
(Ghost 9 is totally different program). What partitions do you currently
have on your disk and what disk is that?

What type of disk is drive F:? Is it attached to the same disk conroller as
drive C:?
What is the image file name?

Well, I took off Ghost 2003, but from what I remember... I clicked on
the back up your computer button, then it asks you what partition you
want to save. My partitions don't even show up there... it only shows
the c: drive. Then, if I try and save the c: partition to another (on
the same physical drive) it gave me an error saying something like it
couldn't find that partition... don't remember exactly what it said.

Can you list your current partitions and specify their file system type
(FAT32 or NTFS)?
If it sees only C: partition, how can you save C: partition to another
partition? There IS NO other partition visible! Lets solve the partition
visibility problem first.

Yeah, I know... I was just telling you the error I was getting.

Anyway, I have a c: as ntfs, d: as ntfs, and e: as fat32. I think it
might be worth mentioning that I remember before, Ghost 2003 did see
my other partitions... I was running XP Home at the time. I'm on W2k
now, but it shouldn't matter what OS you use, since they're both
compatible.

So anybody know a solution to this? I still haven't figured it out.

I'm having the same problem. Running on a W2K Pro SP4 machine, Ghost
9.0 is not showing my C: drive (NTFS)! It does however show my slave
drive H: (NTFS) for some reason...

Perhaps I should try Ghost 2003? I just really like 9.0's simple
interface.

Sorry I don't have a solution, but I just thought empathize and share
in your agony.

Probably, your Windows 2000 needs a boost in order to fully support an IDE
disk that has a capacity that exceeds 128 GB.
What size reports the LDM (Windows' Disk Manager)?

If it limits to 128 GB, please, visit this page:
