I always like to ghost my XP Pro machine. I am using Ghost 2003 and about 15% into the burning process, it application error errors "Application error 29004, Read Sector Failure, result = 1, drive = 0, sectors 111517775 to 111517839." I am wasting precious DVD-R's and CD's thanks to this. I have run scandisk successfuly. Any ideas? 0 Question by:Ravens52 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google Best Solution byRavens52 Here is an update. I download a program called HDD Regenerator that you put on a floppy, boot off of it, and it detects and repairs all bad sectors on application error 29004 a hard-drive - any file system, formatted or unformatted. Go to Solution 8 Comments LVL 7 Overall: Level 7 Storage 3 Message Expert Comment by:shahrial2004-05-09 This problem appears to be due to the way Ghost is accessing the drive. To resolve the problem, recreate the image using the -FNI switch to start Ghost: Ghost -FNI If that does not work, recreate with the -FFX switch also: Ghost -FFX -FNI These switches force Ghost to use a different method for accessing the drive. This should help...;-) 0 LVL 7 Overall: Level 7 Storage 3 Message Expert Comment by:shahrial2004-05-09 Another note: Defrag your source drive to improve the performance. ...;-) 0 Message Author Comment by:Ravens522004-05-09 Nope. Didn't work. I used both of those switches. That is 4 more CD-R's that I have to trash. :( If I have bad sectors, wouldn't scandisk catch that? And I always defrag before cloning. Any other ideas? 0 Message Accepted Solution by:Ravens522004-05-09 Here is an update. I download a program called HDD Regenerator that you put on a floppy, boot off of it, and it detects and repairs all bad sectors on a hard-drive - any file system, formatted or unformatted. So I scanned my drive with the demo version and it indeed found and repaired a bad sector at sector # 1115
with a Compaq Smart-2/P array controller that uses three physical drives to create one logical RAID drive. (When the system boots up, it displays the message "1 logical drive.") I'm trying to Symantec/Norton GHOST -- both GHOST 2003 and GHOST 7.5 -- to make a disk-to-file or partition-to-file copy of this drive. When GHOST tries to access the drive, it exits with an error message "Application error 29004 -- Read sector failure, result = 1, drive = 0, sectors xxxxxxxx to xxxxxxxx." The logical RAID drive is configured with 3 partitions: a 36MB EISA utilities partition, a 498MB C: FAT partition, and a 7654MB D: NTFS partition. When I boot the system up using PC-DOS, I can access the C: partition from the command line. I know that Symantec says that "GHOST does not support RAID," but there are other places in the documentation where it implies that it might work, and I was wondering whether anyone had been successful in getting GHOST to work under these circumstances. Many thanks for any insight that anyone can provide. Eric M. Berg (ericmberg AT yahoo.com) Eric M. Berg, Dec 10, 2003 #1 Advertisements NOYB Guest You must force Ghost to access the array through the BIOS int13h interface using a switch (-ffx ?) so it will not try to access the disks directly. Through the int13h interface the 3 disks will appear 'as one'. -- Joep :: www.diydatarecovery.nl "Eric M.
