Result (0xe98f002c RPAM_FAILED_ADD_MOUNT_POINT Args [0];    I get this same message for every recovery point I select and I can't get any support help from Norton. They say the product (Ghost) is obsolete and is not supported any longer by Norton. Any ideas? I have about 10,000 pictures on that HD that I don't want to loose. Short of figuring out the Ghost problem, are there data recovery businesses that specialize in recovering data from unreadable or broken HDs? Me Too0 Last Comment Replies redk9258 Norton Fighter25 Reg: 22-Feb-2010 Posts: 2,796 Solutions: 119 Kudos: 368 Kudos0 Re: Norton Ghost 15 error message Posted: 03-Dec-2014 | 6:18PM • Permalink Try using Recovery Point Browser

I recently had a complete failure of my OCZ Vertex 60GB SSD. It was only 6 months old! When I tried to restore the image of my C Drive to a replacement Crucial M4 SSD, Norton Ghost was unable to https://community.norton.com/en/forums/norton-ghost-15-error-message succeed. I tried everything I could think of but to no avail. Does anybody know why SSDs present a particular problem to Ghost (or any other backup software)? And has anybody a proven solution? Regards David Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top ispalten Posts: 6259 This post has been reported. I'm assuming you are using Ghost 15? Is the new SSD the same size? http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ssd-failure-gives-problems-with-norton-ghost-15 Did you get an error message or code? Did you format the new drive? Irv S. Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top djmr237 Posts: 9 This post has been reported. Yes it is Ghost 15, and the SSD is the same size. The error messages initially complained of their being no MBR. I tried every method I found on the net of solving this but things just got worse. Eventually It would not even allow me to select a destination for the recovery. I tried installing a clean Windows 7 on it and then trying again, but I still got error messages.I was trying to restore the main 58Gb image, but had no more success when I tried to restore the 100Mb partition that was described as "system reserved" David Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top ispalten Posts: 6259 This post has been reported. I was able to do it, with some problems, about 9 months ago, see HERE. Funny thing is reading this I'm not sure what I did now? If you look HERE there could be some help. MBR is mentioned and should have been marked for restore it seems. The
Part 2If you have arrived at this page please read part 1 of this article before proceeding.Was I still doing something wrong? Why can’t I perform a simple restore using the image backups I created in http://www.pagestart.com/win7mbdelxppart201.html part 1 of this article? Was the failure to read each products User’s Manual the cause? At this point I had more questions than answers.You will recall in part #1 I created a simple single boot Windows 7 configuration expecting that restoring Windows 7 (after deleting the System and Windows partitions) would be piece of cake. No such luck. This time around I’ll read the user’s guides and do things according to the instructions.Windows 7 Backup and Restore:Backup norton ghost and Restore after a major crash of a user’s hard drive may not be able to recover your Windows operating system and applications. The Windows 7 help information was of no value as it simply mentioned the same steps I had already tried. Microsoft Knowledge Base (Now powered by Bing) was a bong and what was once a good source of information has gone down hill. Refining my search results found a few hits but they were of norton ghost 15 little value. Googled for information which returned a couple of good articles with screen shots but merely confirmed the very same steps I had already tried. Conclusion:Is there some value to be had in using this tool? For simple restoration of your computer after accidentally deleting some important data files, a failed software installation or returning Windows back to a state prior to a problem with a particular Windows Update, possibly. I tried it for this purposed and the restore did work. However for a total recovery of your backup to a new hard drive, I can’t recommend relying on this tool as it may not work. I said ‘may not work’ as I did not test every possible recovery scenario.Norton Ghost version 15:The Ghost 15 User’s Manual lacks some detail on restoring an Image Backup using the ‘Recovery CD’, and I recommend that you take the time to carefully read everything in the user’s manual at least twice in order to determine the correct path of action.First I created a fresh Image Backup of the System (100MB) and Windows partitions.Next I attached a second hard drive which also had Windows 7 installed and booted from this drive. I then use ‘Disk Management’ to delete both the System and Windows partitions on the original drive. I then disconnected the second drive. I then booted using the Recovery CD and carefully following t
