Vista volume containing system restore points
Starting from a PXE image on a Dell Dimension 8100 computer
About using Ghost with NTFS files
When a Vista volume containing system restore points is mounted in a Windows
XP/2003 volume, the restore points are deleted. The following error is displayed:
Question 1854: A source volume could not be locked as it is in use by another
process. Do you wish to attempt to force a dismount on the volume?
Run the task on Vista WinPE or in DOS as a work-around for this error.
On a Dell Dimension 8100 computer a conflict between the PXE BIOS and the
Ghost USB code causes Ghost.exe to fail. Run Ghost with the -nousb switch to
overcome this problem.
There are some errors that may occur when using Ghost with NTFS files.
Errors when using Ghost with NTFS files
Table E-2
Error message
Error 25002 - Unhandled
condition encountered: Attr
translation will result in
corruption of MFT table
Description
This error occurs when Ghost has finished mapping the
location of disk clusters used to store data for an NTFS file
and determines that it cannot allocate enough space to store
those cluster mappings. This situation can occur with very
fragmented or compressed NTFS files.
Possible workarounds include the following:
Defragmenting the source drive before cloning or
creating an image.
Using the -ntc- switch, which lets Ghost attempt to
allocate disk clusters at or near their original location
on the source volume. This minimizes the amount of
disruption to the cluster mappings and the subsequent
space required to store the mappings.
