Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage () I need help on restoring a Ghost image that was backed up on a set of CDs. First I backed up the first partition to 4 CD-Rs.and also the whole drive to 8 CD-Rs. At first I was doing an integrity check and it ran into a problem at the ending of the second of the 4 CD-Rs. I kept trying to reboot to Windows but it wasn't working. Also, I don't know if this messed anything up but it gave me the option of removing the Virtual Disk Partition, and I did.

Then it was asking where the command interpreter was. With both images--image of 4 CD-Rs and 8 CD-Rs--after putting in the second CD-R it gives a Ghost compression error. I've been booting with an MS-DOS disk that has CD-ROM driver support and then using a Ghost disk. On the second CD-R it had me back up the error to the floppy drive A as a text file. The text file read as shown below. The computer has Windows 98, with about a 10 Gig Hard Drive. Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage () Your integrity check failed.

Unless there is an optical imperfection (dirt, scratch) on that second CD, that you would be able to remove, there is not much you can do. Just create another set AND RUN INTEGRITY CHECK AGAIN.

Also has many command-line parameters, such as those for checking image file.

That is especially important when writing directly to CD-Rs (your experience has proven it). What about the other set? Did you run integrity check on those too? Otherwise it will not be possible to restore disk/partition from that set. If you attempt to do that, you will end up with corrupted disk and corrupted image on CDRs, without any good backup.

I hate this image strategy. It is slow, prone to CDR related errors, costly and manual.

You can configure as many different backup tasks in Norton Ghost as you need, each one of them with its own settings. The backup copies can be conveniently scheduled and restored at any time, should the worst happen. Of course, Norton Ghost lets you change any of these settings later on in the program’s configuration menu. Norton Ghost can also create an exact copy of your hard drive (with all the existing files, programs and settings). When backing up the whole drive, Norton Ghost will also create a restoration point that will enable you to recover your system in case something goes horribly wrong. As efficient and easy to use as it is, Norton Ghost requires just one thing: patience.

Backup copies can take a long time, so you should probably leave the program running in the background while doing something else – or even better, schedule backups to take place when you don't need to use the PC. Norton Ghost is a reliable, powerful and easy to use backup tool that prevents you from losing any important files in the case of a computer disaster. By Anonymous Beware if you use SATA drives.
