I have trouble creating a Ghost image. I get the following error message:
"Unable to find a free MBR slot in the Virtual Partition DLL. This is usally due to there being no free primary partition slot left on the boot disk."
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem.
I have a laptop, with no floppy drive. But I have one external CDR/RW one an USB 2.0. This USB 2.0 is a PCMCIA card. I have other USB ports on the laptop, but they are USB 1.1.
Unless I'm mistaken, the Ghost app is rather picky with the requirements. It insists that you have a boot floppy to use the service. If you have a hot swappable bay, plug a floppy drive in there, and make a Ghost boot floppy. Chances are that'll fix your problem.

Jinx, do you think that I can use a floppy drive in one of my USB ports, and still resolve the problem?
