we highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members. Hard drive ghosting problem Discussion in 'Windows XP' started by Jascat, Jun 13, 2003. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Page 2 of 4 < Prev 1 2 3 4 Next > Advertisement slipe Joined: Jun 27, 2000 Messages: 6,832 Is the HD you are installing new? I think johnwills suggestion was to partition from there. You want to partition then format. Right click in the drive area and there is an option to delete the partition. I presume after you have deleted it there is an option to make a partition Ive never done it from there. You can also format from a right click after it is formatted. If the drive is showing as the right size you might just format it. I would try that first but I dont want to speak for him since you are following his suggestion. slipe, Jun 14, 2003 #16 Jascat Thread Starter Joined: Jun 7, 2003 Messages: 56 I deleted the partition & now all mention of the drive has disappeared. i went into my computer & it has gone from there as well???

I've never had GHOST fail to do a copy, and I've been using it for many versions and years. Thats because you are too smart to have an EZ-BIOS overlay on your drive. If you have an overlay on the drive Ghost will not copy a drive where MaxBlast will. Click to expand... Well, you're 100% right. There is absolutely no reason to install the EZ-BIOS overlay on any system built in the last 4 years, and even before that if you upgrade the BIOS. I truthfully don't even think about drive overlays anymore.

Click to expand... Right Click on My Computer, Manage, Disk Manager. Locate the new drive and right click on the graphic and format it. Then try reading/writing to it, if that works, try the GHOST run again. JohnWill, Jun 14, 2003 #19 slipe Joined: Jun 27, 2000 Messages: 6,832 I thought you said to partition it from disk manager. slipe, Jun 14, 2003 #20 Jascat Thread Starter Joined: Jun 7, 2003 Messages: 56 It is formatting at the moment.
