AlexII I agree but you can only copy the complete partition to another. THis means the partition will not be comprssed into a file. This is because the DOS recovery side of ghost can't see an NTFS file. If you set up a FAT32 partition to ghost into all is well Roger

XP gets you to decide at installation time. You don't need to Format or partition as it does all this. You can also set up a dual boot at instal time if you want to keep the previous O/S. Its quite neat NTFS has advantages over FAT32 but beware of DOS utilities such as ghost. These only work on...

THe point about ghosting is that XP shut down/loading is flacky not the disk harware. A full reinstall takes at least 40 minutes a ghost 6. The connection to partitions is you need one Fat32 to ghost images. NTFS is not recognised by DOS so the utility doesn't see files just partitions.

I partition into 5 on a 40g drive. Partition one about 3.5 gig for the O/S Partition 2 about 6 gig for Program.files. Partition 3 about 10g for data. Partition 4 about 10 g for ghosts of O/S Partition 5 spare. I reason that keeping the O/S partition small is a good defense against problems. One...

Dilletante, I have moved my system to FAT32 but still get the C0000218 message after a number of sucessful cold boots. I agree XP is stable and doesn't crash but C000218 is a shut down issue. There is nothing unusual about the hardware. There are literally hundreds of posts about this issue in...

I have a similar set up partitioned 4 x 10. One partition is FAT32. The reason is Dos utilities like ghost don't recognise NTFS file structures. These are essentil if you use XP which is very flacky (see thread 616-86626 c000218 errors on 2k & XP) About 30 A4 pages of pathological problems on...

THere are some restrictions on Ghost. It is a DOS utility thus doesn't recognise NTFS. ASsuming you use a partitioned main disc there must be at least one FAT32 chunk to save images. The active (XP) partition can be NTFS. If you are happy to save partitions then NTFS is OK but very waseful on...

TRy switching on the indexing services on the Drive that stores your settings. Usually C: Right click on C disk ilon and check setting. Turn off compression if it on. Worth a try. Mine takes just a few seconds to switch.

I have similar problems on XP. THe W2k forum provides most of thetheories but so far no definitive answer. I do not think it is a harware compatibility issue as suggested. So far the Page flush trick has worked for me. I cannot turn of Caching as my integrate Promis RAID denies this option...
