Norton Ghost and NT

[coldfire12]

I'm trying to ghost an NT image onto an 18G hard drive. I need the partion to be 18G, so i can't partion the hard drive up. Ghost tells me that i can't have a boot partion larger than 7.8G. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

Usually you can ignore that error message and it will still work ok (well it does for us anyway)?? -----------------------------------------------------

We just got in Compaq EVO W6000 2 gig units with 30 gig, 1 partition hds. we were able use Ghost's Explorer to spann the image to two cd's, bootable for restoration to any duplicate unit.

I beleive this was due to the pre service pack limitations of windows NT I think sp4 and above resolved this issue

So if you have SP4 or above then ignore Nortons message

Njoy!

Its may also be intresting to note that microsoft recomend no larger than 8G for a primary partion...
