Hello - I found a web page on Symantec that says Ghost version 12 for Vista would not be available until Arpil 18, Here's the link:. I would want to configure it with Dell 'DataSafe'. DataSafe requires Norton Ghost to operate. Does anyone know what Dell will do? The first flight has three steps and represents the three ages of man.

The second flight has five, which represents the five senses of human beings. The last flight of seven represents the seven liberal arts and sciences. Once in the rotunda, visitors will see seven pillars. The centerpiece of the entire structure is breathtaking.

Each chair represents a member of the McMillin family, complete with their names engraved and their ashes placed inside each of the hollow chair bottoms. There is one chair missing from the table, and it is said that this represents the one McMillin son who turned his back on the family religion.

According to countless reports from visitors, strange blue orbs have been spotted and photographed hovering above the chairs at the limestone table in the center of the monument.

Those who are brave enough to sit in the chairs report a strong uneasiness and a feeling of wrongdoing, or trespassing. Others have even reported feeling hands on them, pushing them off of the chairs. Visit for the unexplained, the symbolism, but be sure to visit with respect for the family buried there.

Windows of course also keeps partition and disk information of its own, even prior to Vista.

And based on the results, both must match the current environment else the boot manager will declare the OS loading application cannot be found. Even if I force the drive signature to be the correct signature, if I'm restoring to a different partition than the image was previously using, the restored partition will still fail to boot because the partition number stored in the BCD still doesn't match the current environment.

Note you can "fix" a previously restored and currently failing to boot installation using a PE boot disc and executing these same actions against the restored partition's BCD entries. The above is just the minimum for my own scenario where there is just a clean Vista-only OS installation on the partition.

Once the BCD entries are no longer referring to specific disk signatures and partition numbers, there is no need to use -FDSP with Ghost anymore, either. The disk signature can be reset as it is by default with a Ghost disk restore, and "nothing special" is required during image creation or restore from a Ghost perspective. For the purposes of making an image that can be restored via Ghost to any partition on my test box, the "BOOT" device reference appears most desirable by not being fixed to any one partition or disk signature.

There are certainly bootloader hence bcedit and NTFS changes with windows vista either of which could lead to something like this. Unfortunatly, I think we have to wait for Symantec to have a version that supports Windows Vista. If I hear any different I will let you know. Thanks for the response. At least not yet. And its still reporting as NTFS version 3. Agreed that obviously there are changes in the boot loader. And perhaps one day Ghost will do something to take this into account, if taking this into account even ends up being required.

But as described, Ghost 8. So the disk signature appears to be a factor, but still the question of whether there is something that could be done to "prepare" Vista for the fact that its going to be restored to a different zeroed, or at least different disk signature. Or, someone who is successfully using Ghost 8. I do get a pop up windows when I try to do administrative tasks from within windows wanting me to verify to continue.

Is there something I am missing, or is there away to do adminstrative tasks withing the command prompt like Linux aka Sudo. Sorry, my statement of "log on as Administrator" is definitely vague and misleading in a current context. EXE, indeed you need to have your full Administrators rights in effect. EXE successfully within that Command Prompt session. Or, as alluded to, if UAC is simply disabled altogether that would give you full Administrators right in any Command Prompt session too.

Alan, thank you for the information. This is exactly the problem that I have been having for the last three days and I was finally able to solve it with your suggestion.

Since the 12th of juli this can be found on the Symantec site. The statement that it's MS recommanded deployment system si very interesting. I have already send a question to MS about it. This will include full Microsoft Vista support and enhancements, such as imaging and deployment, software distribution, PC "personality" migrations, and secure retirement of end-point devices. This version supports the bit version of Windows Vista. I have received the final Version of Vista, but i need test how to clone it.

This approach with Ghost 8. I am successfully Ghosting partitions and restoring them to alternate partitions and maintain the ability to successfully boot from them post-restore. So if there is something you can see that isn't working, I'm not immediately suspicious that it's "failing for RTM" versus just failing for some other reason, regardless of Windows Vista build.

Hi, Alan, I've visited a lot of forum posting my problem that maybe i'ts so simple for you, I'll appreciate if you can give my a hand with my issue. The machine that I want to ghost is 5GB data and booted and running ghost, the destination is my laptop on the network running XP. I have peer to peer connection already, but when I select the mapped drive and I start the ghost process I got the error message of not enough space Ghost says my Destination is only 2GB.

This was done on a spare 40gb drive and was to be transferred to a gb drive. After ghosting the gb drive, neither XP or Vista would boot and said I had to use the install disk to repair. Of course that did not work Did not want to redo the ghost image Wish I could code, would like a gui version of this to make life easy.

I had used bcdedit to export the contents of my system store before the ghost. So I imported that while booted with a BartPE disk and still could not boot.

What finally worked is:. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I faced the same problem as you, but instead of solve it i still have it. I follow the instructions you provide and i made the following changes through CMD as administrator: remind that my own OS is on c hdd. I took the ghost using ghost 8.

There are two versions - store bought and Enterprise - 8. Is this where the confusion lies? I also installed XP Pro first into 1 partition and Vista Ultimate into another partition on the same drive - 4gb machine dual core however I couldn't get Gparted to work on the Dual core machine.

Thought I would share this - I thought I would see all 4gb of ram but I only see 3.
