Yeah, (ghost 2003) I use it to restore images of clients in the LAN I maintain.

 

yup me too, any reason for asking?

Are you sat comfortably


I run a 30Gb HD with 3 partitions

a) NTFS running W2K Pro SP3

b) NTFS

c) FAT32

each about 10 GB

When I now attempt to Ghost a) currenlty about 7Gb onto C) using High Comression I get the error "out of disk space" after 2GB

I have the spanning box ticked so am expecting it to ask where would you like the 1st extend but nope just keeps giving the error.

 

eerrrrmm

Have you tried making another bootdisk. or using a boot disk that runs MS DOS instead of PC DOS.

Do you have another drive attached? try removing it.

 

Thanks Si - I have an old 2Gb disk I use as a scratch drive I'll try taking that out of the equation.

 

Whats a scratch drive??

 

Pulled the scratch drive out the system still get the error.... Got a free HD and am loading it up with W2K and start again just to see if I can get the problem again.

A Scratch drive in a UNIX term for a HD that you can use to write files to that are not important. Think of it like your temp folder but can be mounted on a diffrent filesystem.

 

Fixed it...

Ghost has a 2G max file size!!!!! So won't work!!

 

So thats why it wont work, never really messed around with it after it wouldn't work for me.

How did you fing that out?

 

:?: I don't understand that McSmoothie, I've used ghost in the past where image files have hit the 2Gb limit but ghost then carried on and created another file with a different filename and extension as many times as it needed to complete the image in files of 2GB. Never complained that the disk was full. Perhaps it's the version you're using?

I am using the 2002 ver and was expecting it to ask for an extend (spanning is set to on)!

 

That's odd, have you found a workaround yet?

 

nope


I am setting up a HD from scratch and seeing what happens
