Hi,

I've a little problem with Norton Ghost 2003. I've created a full disk image to CD-R. I have a 80Gb hard drive with XP and Gentoo on it. Everything went ok, except that the disk 2 is corrupted!! The only solution from Symantec is to redo the image...

Now I've just wasted 9 CDs to do this isn't there a way to just redo CD-2 or do I really need to redo the whole 9CDs.

I thought Norton Ghost was suppose to be good, but at 9CDs a shot w/o data checking in between it's starting to be freakin' expensive...

So my system didn't change yet from when I backed it up, is there a way to only redo CD-2?

Nope. Not that I know of. I think it has to be all or nothing when imaging.

In the long run suggest do a clone to another Hard drive. Works great.

I use cdrw disks, if they get corrupted I just erase them and start again.

Okie, CD-RW are more expensive but guess it's what I'll use too from now on or grab a smaller hard drive.

I don't know but wouldn't it be easy for Symantec to put a "check disk" routine after a cd-r is done and give the option to do it again if it's corrupted? Just my thought...

Thanks for the replies :)

When I make large backup images, I tell the software to save the image file in 500MB increments on my hard drive. Then I manually save each file increment to the CD-R. If an increment is corrupt, it is then easy to recopy to a new CD-R.

Hi, JayF,
I've had exactly the same problem and have many coasters to prove it. The Ghost error message always listed it as a decompression problem. I could have overcome this by using the "No Compression" option, but many more disks would have been required. I now back up to a removable HD and if the Image Integrity check is successful I then do a Ghost backup to two DVD+RWs. If we go away. I hide my removable HD in the house ( in case of theft )and take the DVDs with me.
