Can anyone help me with a ghost 2003 restore issue?

[microdoc]

I have created a restore image of my system on a hidden partition (using gdisk) on a single hard drive. 80Gig hard drive, Partition #1 is 70Gig NTFS, partition 2 is 10Gig NTFS hidden.

As far as I can tell from the ghost documentation, the following command SHOULD restore my main partition (#1) from the restore image on the hidden partition (#2)....but it keeps telling me that it cannot find the source partition?

ghost -clone,mode=prestore,src=1:2\restore.gho,dst=1:1

I have even tried UNhiding the partition but i get the same error

The message is: No Source Partition was Specified from Image.

If I run ghost and do a partition from image restore, it works perfectly...but I want a command line fix.

Any ideas?

Command line won't recognize hidden partitions. Unhide and try. You can change back when done.

already tried unhiding it...still get the same response

I've never seen Ghost allow a back-up to the same physical drive. Mine gives error when I try that (yes - 2003, had too many problems with 2005 and took it out).

whats funny is that it works fine if i run the GUI version...just wont work from command line?
