I need a solution

Hi,

 

when we play an image back we get one of the following decompression errors:

- application error 19235 ghost decompression error -3

- decompressionerror 1808

 

It seams that the image is corrupt by the creation. I think that we need a patch.

 

What can we do?

 

Thanks for all replys.

I need a solution

Does anyone (Symantec Tech Support did not) know if you can use this product to image, resize restore the image on a Windows Server 2003 that is a domain controller?  I do not need to hot image, I just need to create 3 drive images, resize the partitions and then restore the images to the new sized partition.

Thank you for any help,

Jeff

I have the exact same question as with in this article:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/password-protect-pxe

Everything in that discussion is exactly relevant to my needs. Since that is 2 years old, I want to know if there is a friendlier way of doing this now as I am not confident enough to do what is suggested in that article.

Thanks!

Need help automating WinPE Ghost recovery

0

I need a solution

Hi,

I'm still running Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 11.5.  I've been creating bootable DOS USB sticks for re-imaging my computer using ghost.exe, via the Symantec Ghost Boot Wizard.

Because it's DOS, its terribly slow, but I do have it scripted such that I just plug the stick in, set the USB stick as the boot device, and the rest is automatic.

 

In an attempt to speed up the re-imaging process, I started playing with WinPE.  I am able to create a bootable USB stick, boot into a WinPE environment, and have the ghost32.exe launch automatically. BUT, I still have to select the image file, and the destination disk manually.  The speed is majorly improved (reduced imaging time from 35 min to 9)

 

I attempted to automate the image file selection by modifying the start.bat file in the ghost folder of the USB stick, but no luck.  So, here I am asking for your advice!

 

With DOS, I would just add the following to my autoexec.bat file, and the system would automatically re-image my HDD:

GHOST.EXE -clone,mode=restore,src=C:\ghost\win7recovery1.gho,dst=2 -sure

 

Are there any ghost gurus out there that can point me in the right direction to get the same effect from a WinPE boot?

Thanks!

Old Data Still Showing After Ghost

I need a solution

 

Hello,

 

I am using Ghost 8 to clone a drive.  I was able to make an image of the drive but when I clone it to another drive and put it in its original machine, it still shows the old data on the drive (Including the partition table).  If I put it back into the machine I cloned it on, it shows the new data perfectly imaged

 

The Laptop is a new Dell XPS 15 (L521x) which uses iSRT 

The Hard Drive is a 500 GB Western Digital Black Scorpio 7200 RPM

 

I am completely mind blown as to why something like this would happen, any assistance would be great.  If you need more info of course I would be happy to provide.

 

Thanks!

Application Error 19913 when choosing multicast session

I need a solution

I have Ghost solution suite version 11.5.1.226. It is installed on Windows Server 2003 and I'm using Deploment Center in conjuction with PXE using MS-DOS bootdisk. It has been working well. But I've tried to upload/backup a image from a HP Elitebook 2170p. It is able to load to ghostcast session but when I choose Multicast it completely freezes and gives me following error.

"Application Error 19913: Unable to start TCP/IP. Can't find DHCP server."

The server is running on a static IP and it has it's own DHCP service that allocates IP to all devices that is connected to the server. It is connected to a dummy router on it's own network.

This issue does not affect my current ghosting setup with my other desktop and laptops. The NDIS driver I am using is Intel 82579LM. I've tried all version from the Intel website v17.1-17.3 without any luck. Funny thing is it is able to bind and recognize the NIC driver but upon Ghost cast session and selecting Multicast I get the error above.

As much as Symantec has wanted me to go over to their PXE Server with the 3 Com Boot Services I don't want to risk screwing anything up as this setup has worked for me. I have to actually plan a back out plan becuase this is a production server.

I have NEVER had Symantec support solve my issues for me. It's mostly through the forum and google that I've been able resolve my issue.

I am serisouly considering building a WDS server to do future imaging. I'm extremely frustrated with Ghost but all of my content is in Ghost and I cannot possibly move everything yet as their are deadlines outside of this separate project.

Any help would be appreciated.

Unable to connect to DHCP 1993 Error HP/Intel E1000 Driver

I need a solution

We just recently got new HP laptops in; The 6570b upgrading from the 6560b. I use the Ghost Boot Wizard to create USB network boot drives. I have never had an issue with connection until we got these latest HPs.

I have the latest DOS drivers from both Intel for the E1000 series adapters and from HP.

When boot it looks as though it is getting through the boot sequence and loading the driver fine. But when I get into Ghost and try to connect to the unicast server I get 19913 error: unable to connect to DHCP.

I have looked and looked and tried everything I can find on the forums but nothing seems to work.

I have been all over the bios, protocol.ini, autoexec.bat and config.sys

Please help!

I need a solution

My company is using a trial version of Ghost. I am simply trying to do a peer to peer image from a laptop that is the master, to a workstation that is the slave. I selected the non DNS version and entered static IPs. However, when booting up, both machines come up with an IP of 127.0.0.1. What might I be doing wrong here?

Connection reset by server with GhostCode 19922

I need a solution

Hi All,

 

I have a setup in an Academy where there are 9 client workstations. The creation of the Ghost images is a breeze. However when I try to re-image a client via Ghost Solution Suite 2.5, I get the error: Connection reset by server with GhostCode 19922.

 

I have tried all the workarounds that I have seen on the net, to no avail. 

 

Has anyone got any ideas how I can overcome this issue?

 

What I have already done:

1. turned off firewall/AV

2. tried Multicast/unicast transmission

3. Added drivers for the NIC (HP z600) Broadcom drivers

4. Re-configured the WinPE/WinPE512 boot OS

 

Thanks

Image a .v2i file mounted as a drive letter?

I need a solution

Can Symantec Ghost create an image from a v2i file mounted as a drive letter, please?  (If so, can the trial version do so for a 25GB image?)

I ask because I'm a lifetime Norton Ghost user with a trickly problem.  My boot drive died, and while waiting for RMA replacement, it's backup drive's filesystem somehow got corrupted.

Over here I was advised to mount my v2i file and fix it with CHKDSK, then use something (the poster couldn't recall if it was Symantec Ghost or Microsoft ImageX; Norton Ghost cannot) to image the mounted drive.

Googling about ImageX, even if it can do what I need it doesn't look easy to use particularly with my WinXP Pro sp3.


Boot Wizard help in GSS 2.5

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a bootable external drive to ghost a machine we have in a non-networked location.  I have used this drive in the past to do this, however it recently was reformatted via user error.  When I try to create the bootable external hard drive I get to the point where I select the drive after unchecking "Show only removable Devices" and I receive the error "The drive is currently write protected. Remove the write protection or select another drive." I can manually write to the drive not using ghost so I am at a loss.  Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

Thanks

I need a solution

Hi, I'm trying to restore an image on a computer using a USB stick that has the .GHO image on it. When I'm in Symantec Ghost 11.5.1 I'm doing Local, Disk, and then from Image, I then select the image and then it gives me the a couple of options as to where I should be restoring the image. I get to the point where it says proceed with clone, although when I select OK it says it cannot perserve the file. How do I fix this?

 

Thanks

I need a solution

Hello, I'm hoping that I can find some possible insight before I go and install Ghost. We are currently using Ghost 11 on a 2003 server and want to replace the server and migrate it to a new hardware which will be running Windows server 2008 R2 64bit. Would Ghost cast server run fine on this platform? The system requirements did not list this server os platform in the installation section.

 

 

Thank you,

Error 775 when uploading and deploying images

I need a solution

Hello All,

I need help with an issue i'm currently having with Altiris when deploying images using the ghost console.  This happens to me whether im uploading or deploying any image within our image catalog.  The Job is:

  1. Reboot to Automation
  2. Create Backup Image (Ghost Format - Split into 2400mb blocks with balanced compression, tried also with no compression and no splits with same results)
  3. Reboot to Production

The job reboots to a winpex64 (also tried x32) Automation partition and attempts to start ghost create image job.  For  a brieft second the job will pop up (or go until about 45% on deployment jobs) then close out completely.  I dont know what exactly is happening but i have included both the upload and deployment error logs.  Please let me know what you are able to see by these documents because all i am able to see is the error code and theres no documentation on any site regarding this code.

 

Thank You,

I was wondering if Ghost Solution Suite allows for a Clone to be made with a Live Operating System.

 

I need to clone our Windows Server 2008 R2 system, and was wondering whether this was possible. If not, how do I go about cloning the system?
