Ghost 2002 and Windows XP PROBLEMS! PLEASE HELP!
hi everybody! my first post here. yesterday I was trying to use Norton Ghost 2002 to copy a hard drive that had two partitions (that were full,) to a new 80GB hard drive that I bought. I ran ghost 2002 by selecting disk to disk cloning. When it brought up the "progress" screen showing the actually transfer of information from drive to drive, ghost started to copy the first partition, just like it should. But then it popped up a box that said "Error. cannot read NTFS file. Run CHKDSK) all I could press was "ok". When I pressed "ok" it started to try the first partition again and the same thing came up again. When I pressed "ok" this time, it began copying partition 2 and was able to finish the cloning process at this time. When I exited ghost and booted up, I found that Ghost had setup the new drive in two partitions (just like it should have,) but in the 1st partition there was nothing and in the 2nd partition there was all the files that were suppose to be in the 2nd partition. I restarted and ran chkdsk to see if it could fix any errors that prevented the 1st partition from being copied. I then ran ghost again and the same exact thing happened again. I then tried to just go into windows and copy files from the 1st partition to the new empty 1st partition, and it started to do it until a box came up saying "cannot copy file. another user is using this file." or something like that and it stopped copying. I am not able to figure out any way I can get the original 1st partition copied to the new drive, Ghost will only copy the 2nd partition. What am I doing wrong? can anyone help me?
thanks!
