This isn't really a Windows XP problem, but there isn't a specific group for this topic and I figured this would be an appropriate audience.
I have some hard drives in Dell laptops that check out fine no matter what diagnostic tool I use (norton disk doctor, fdisk /mbr, scandisk, dell hdd diagnostics, etc.). I can always format, parition, and install any OS on them. The problem is when I try to deploy a Symantec Ghost image on to them. It will hang at 99% and just sit there until it times out. The 99% imaged system won't boot properly. If I move the hard drive to a different laptop and reimage, it is the same problem. If I take a hard drive where the image deploys 100%, and move it to any other system, it always works, so the problem seems to be with the particular disks.
Any ideas?
TIA
