When trying to ghost an image of an NT drive I get an error: "NTFS Log file has not been flushed(f1=0) restart NT and try again." Any ideas on how to solve it?

If your image contains SP4 of above and your ghost program is not above v5.x then you havw to use the switch -ntil to dump your image.

Ghost -ntil

When you run ghost use:-

ghost -ntic -ntil

ignores checkbit & ignores logfile!

within ghost options you might try changing the one that mentions 64k size - forgotten the exact wording but you'll recognise it. this same thing lost me hours till i tried that stab in the dark.

Be warned, you do not want to use this ghost image to duplicate machines in an NT Domain environment as each machine's Security Identifier will be the same!! (Effectively giving each machine the same rights as their 'unique' SID is no longer unique!)

I used the -ntic -ntil switches, and it ghosted. However, the system will not boot from the hard drive after a restart.

Any suggestions?
