Go to symantec support site.

Use partition to image, you cannot ghost a disk image to a partition on the same physical drive.

Actually, I bet you it is showing the destination drive. You have to remember that Ghost won't write to an NTFS partition. therefore it won't show you the NTFS partitions. In doing so, it will drop the drive letters down.

In other words, let's say you have two drives C is NTFS, D is FAT32. When choosing the save drive, it won't show you the NTFS drive so D now becomes C.

Ghost will also image from one partition to another on the same drive. And drive image is going to have the same problems with NTFS partitions. This is a DOS limitaion and has nothing to do with the cloning software.
