![]() So, the question remains if it had been enough just to keep the unallocation of drive letter or if you have to remove it. I deleted the first partition to which the new C:disk was restored (point 4). Post by Brian on May 8 th, 2008 at 8:29amīrian, Maybe I misunderstand you, but I did not restore the image to an unassigned (drive letter wise) partition. I susspect that since the drive though various previous attempts have been boot initialized, something in the boot setup (MBR, Active, boot.ini) is invalid. ![]() If any of you has been there and has a good idea of what to do, please let me know. I came past the thinkpad logon screen, ending up with the unfortunately, familiar black screnn with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. This morning, I happily exchanged the drives and started booting. Having nothing to loose, I dropped all partitions and lo and behold - Ghost started copying and I went to bed. Support asked for me to check all file system integrety switches, resize partition, all boot realted switches, the ignore bad sectors and do not assign drive letter. I got the interesting reply that if I wanted to do the copy disk operation, the disk should not be initialized - i.e. ![]() Anticipating a long list of studpid questions, I sent them the above plus a little more. then just to see what Norton would say I started a chat. then I switched to the Administrator user - with the same result. To complete the picture, I mounted the disk in an external usb casing and tried my earlier approaches - with the same result. I have not yet resolved the issue but am getting nearer :-) After the recovery point has been created, install the HD in your laptop, boot to the Ghost 12 CD and restore the recovery point to the unallocated space. Delete the first partition before creating the recovery point so the image doesn't know about a partition with a drive letter. The first for the eventual OS and the second to hold the recovery point. Have two partitions on the 200 GB external HD. I'd try writing a recovery point to a conventional USB external HD. There are reports of conventional cloning to USB external HDs failing because of 240 head HD geometry with IBM laptops. You can't do a reverse clone with Ghost 12 so forget I mentioned it. I must be spending too much time on the True Image forum. Partitions with a drive letter were a problem. On reflection, your partition without a drive letter is probably OK.

IsSystemAccessRestricted(). Error EBAB0013: A test that safeguards the integrity of the program failed unexpectedly. Error EC8F03FA: Cannot read data from the recovery point. Error EC8F03F2: Cannot copy data from the recovery point to the destination. I got into a similar problem:Įrror EC8F178F: Cannot complete the restore of recovery point: \\ethernet_bd\backup\Lenovo\Image\LENOVO-8B39D286_C_Drive010.v2i. Yesterday (before the CHKDSK) I tried making a restore point on an external netwrok drive and restore from that instead of copying directly. Cannot copy source drive to destination location. Error EC8F17B3: Cannot complete copying of Preload (C:\) drive. I try running CHKDSK C: /r and it finds a few minor problems. I want the disk active and MBR copied, as I plan immediately after the copying to replace the existing system disk with the larger one. I specify that it should ignore filesystem checks and invalid sectors. Then I try to use the copy partition function from the existng C: partition to the new unassigned partition. It is mounted in a multibay inserted instead of the dvd-drive and is seen as an intern disk. So I bought a new 200GB disk and partioned it into one 140GB NTFS primary partion (no drive letter assigned) and one extended partion with the rest, whiach has a logical NTFS drive H: taking up all space. It has one large Primary NTFS partion (C:) and one small primary service partion, that I do not intend to use any more. I am running out of space on my 100Gb harddisk on my Leneove thinkpad T60p.
