I attempted to clone my C drive to another internal drive using the DOS diskette method. I have done http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?83519-Ghost-Damaged-Target-Drive this many times before. I have an XP system. The version is 2003, upgraded to SATA capable. The clone attempt ended in failure to complete by error 25003 (Abort 25003, could not fit translated attributes into buffer size). My current questions are: 1) Is this error due to the source drive, or the target drive? 2) Are there any settings that might allow me to complete the clone? 3) The target drive, with incomplete clone copy, cannot be found by ANY method I can find. It’s not visible in Explorer or any disk manager, in Disk Management, or in the Western Digital utility Data Lifeguard Diagnostic. I presume that’s because the clone was incomplete. How can I make this drive visible again to reformat it or otherwise make it usable for other than a paperweight? I would be GREATLY appreciative of any help!!!

run Win XP Home Edition with SR2. I have two identical Maxtor HDs. I want to clone my primary drive to my slave each week. My latest Ghost problem goes as follows: (1) I run Ghost and it reboots my computer http://www.techiehq.net/threads/another-problem-with-norton-ghost.39845/ into DOS mode, (2) Ghost runs for about 1 second and then aborts, (3) the computer reboots into Win XP and then I find that the format on my slave drive has been ruined!! Windows doesn't recognize the drive and when I click on it in My Computer, I'm asked if I want to format the drive. I have reformatted the drive various ways including the short format, letting Win XP do a thorough format, and I have booted to my Win XP ghost error install CD and then formatted the slave that way. Each time Ghost runs and ruins the format. The log after the unsuccessful clone says: Error Number: (25003) Message: Could not fit translated attributes into buffer size. Any suggestions? Thanks. Sam Bench, Apr 5, 2006 #1 Advertisements Simon Guest I have using Ghost for about 3 years ....never had a problem and restored to a new drive twice. I am also using XP with SP2 installed. When I make a backup, I ghost error could ALWAYS use a Ghost floppy to boot from. NEVER THROUGH WINDOWS. You might try that....
