I’ve done this at least 50 times before. http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?72088-HDD-Failure The ghost program appeared to be working until it got about 95% completed, and then it came up with a file name? (546) message saying "Output error file to the following location: a:/ghosterr.txt". If output error I try to do anything, I get an error message saying "Cannot open Ghosterr.text - insert diskette (434). Neither of the boot disks helps the problem.I rebooted and the computer is going through some process of deleting and recovering orphaned files. This has happened before, and a total re-install had to be finally performed. I sure hope one of you guys has a suggestion.What is the reason my image filename 546 output will not complete?Thanks for your time,Gary Logged Caroline Lyons Administrator Member Posts: 1411 Re: Ghost 2003 Error Message « Reply #1 on: February 19, 2007, 06:47:17 PM » Welcome to the forum Is your floppy disk write-protected? If so, this would generate an error whilst attempting to write to the disk. Does ghosterr.txt exist on the floppy? If so, can you open it please and copy & paste its contents. It will give us more of an idea what's going on.

We can never get at the root of the problem. Norton will not respend unless you pay their fee. Extortion!The only thing that has happened since my last ghost is the addition of some programs. The programs I'm referring to are added to a computer that never goes on the net. No access. It's used for recording music only. I remembered something being stated, to the is

There is no restore disk, but I'd be happy to buy one from HP if I could figure out how to order one. Of the 3 HP PCs I already have (desktops), none of them have a restore disk and they did not come with one AFAIK. If I buy new HDs, how can I get XP loaded again? For the nx5000, SMART said HDD failure is immenent, but I can ignore this and start to boot XP Pro. It comes up to an activation screen. I've thought of trying to activate this and then figure out how to image the disc, but I presume I'd have to buy the same size disk and figure out how to write the data to it. I've never been able to do this, usually because there just does not seem to be a way either because there is no way to physically connect the two drives to the same PC or I cannot figure out how to work the software. Also, I do have have one OEM disk from a PC I built several years ago and I wonder if the code on the bottom of the nx5000 can be used with that disk? I don't want to transfer the license though since I still use that other computer... What would be the recommended solution, beside buy a new PC?
