Norton Ghost question ????
Purchased new WD harddrive. Put it in a Byeteec external. I used Norton to ghost my old drive to new. I tried to boot from the new drive and I got message NTLDR is Missing.I thought ghost gave you an exact image ?????
Thanks and Stay safe DB |

Did you ghost the entire drive or just one partition on it?

Hmm, it seems to be a pretty common problem after Googling it. This is a weird solution but it might work if nothing else does: http://www.mcse.ms/message1263055.html
Is the new hard drive much larger than the old one? |

Then it might be that 2 GB limit that the article I posted is talking about. Give that a try.

After reading that doctorgonzo.I dont have the time to mess with it. Sounds like Nortons usual CRAP software. I have Vicoms Drive works also. Ithink I will try it.

You can also try Western Digital's Data Lifeguard software: that can be used to do a drive-to-drive copy.

Ghost doesn't always play nice with extrenal drives, so I never do it that way. It's easiest fastest, and best just to plug the drive in internally and then Ghost it, or use the manufacturer's utility as mentioned above (but I don't know off hand if they work with an external box either...).

I've never had a problem using Apricorn's OEM version of Acronis True Image to clone drives back and forth from the IDE/SATA to external USB.
This is one reason I keep recommending Apricorn housings and Acronis True Image if you want to buy a Ghost equivalent. |
