Hello,

I am trying to clone any xp install drive with norton ghost 14 to a new bigger drive - both are NTFS. Yet for some reason when I start to run the program I get an error saying the drive cannot be copied :


-Error EC8F17B3: Cannot complete copying of (C:\) drive.
--Cannot copy source drive to destination location.
---No recognizable NTFS file system found.
---Cannot copy source drive to destination location.
----No recognizable NTFS file system found.

Any ideas? I have never used ghost before so I am not sure if I am missing something

Run Windows CheckDisk on the SOURCE drive, don't rely on Norton doing it for you.

How do you have the drives hooked up physically? If you have the space, i would take a full snapshot of the drive, then restore it instead of straight shot start to finish.

I have them on the same ide channel - master/slave.

this is an older desktop, p4 and the drive with the xp install is only 40 gig - trying to move everything over to a new larger drive.
