Symantec Ghost 11.5.1.2269

You can test if the image is actually corrupted by loading ghost and running a check image file. If this shows the image as corrupted the unfortunately the only recourse would be to create a new image.
You can try to open the ghost image set with the ghost image explorer and see if you can pull out a few files from the back up. If it is truely corrupt then it will fail to open correctly in the ghost explorer also and recovery of the files isn't likely. It might be useful to try the latest version of ghost but it is likely not going to change the outcome.
The image of my OS already has 2005 SQL Express. It is my understanding that this version of ghost requires SQL 2014 Express. I install SQL 2014 Express after uninstalling 2005 and then I install GSS console. I am able to install everything with no errors. However when I go to open the GSS Console using the desktop icon i continuosly receive the same error message
Hello, i just started a entry level IT help desk job. Its a small company of 300 people and sometime when we get new hires we need imaging a new laptop for them with same software. Right now we are using Symantec ghost 11.5. Im only image 1 computer at a time. No need multiple deploy. imaging through a switch with just Ethernet two pc connected. An usb stick for the receiving end. Its a OK software. Its 2018 i want a faster imaging software that can support window 7 and window 10 32bit and 64bit and able to support 2.0 and 3.0 usb drivers free or paid software but no Subscription software. Right now it takes about 1hr or for window 7 64bit imaging. Is there something out there easy to use with faster imaging? Reliable? thanks!
As a new staff, I would try to understand the whole flow instead of changing the process as you may have different set ups and different images already (created by ghost) and using other software ware may mean that you may have to create new master images.
I'm having a problem trying to use Ghost on one of my labs. This semester one of our instructors wanted to have a lab that can dual boot Win Xp and Linux. I set it up and pulled an image with ghost with no problems, but pushing the image back out causes Ghost to crash with the following error.

Rick I really think you have a great setup there and I will implement that as much as I can. I've built a universal ghost boot CD and I use the menuitem option in the config.sys to select the proper network card when ghosting via the network. The testbed pc's are going to be ghosted from the second partition, so I will store and execute the images from the HDD.
The only issue now is, how do I automate the reboot and force ghost to execute?
Thanks guys!
-Chris RE: Dual boot XP Pro and Norton Ghost Rick998 (IS/IT--Management)18 Nov 06 06:49Make sure the Ghost executable is stored in the same partition as the source image file then add a menuitem to the CD's boot menu to change to the partition.
Remember that if the first partition has been formatted as NTFS then any DOS boot CD won't recognise the partition. As a result the CD menuitem will have to change to C:.
If, however, both partitions have been formatted as FAT32 then the CD menuitem will need to change to D: then run the Ghost executable with the following switches:
CODEghost -clone,mode=pload,src=d:\fixdrive.gho:1,dst=1:1 -rb -sure
This will avoid you having to include this in a 'fixme.bat' file. Alternatively, include a 'fixme.bat' file in the second partition and change the CD menuitem to point to the second partition and run the batch file.
The Ghost switches mean:
-clone,mode=pload = load partition from image file
src=d:\fixdrive.gho:1 = use first partition in an image file called 'fixdrive.gho' stored in root of D: as the source image file
dst=1:1 = use partition 1 of disk 1 as the destination
-rb = reboot automatically afterwards
-sure = don't ask for confirmation, just do it.
Again, you will have to adjust the 'src=' switch for the location of the source file from D: to C: depending on whether the DOS boot CD recognises the partition.
Note that you will can eject the CD as soon as Ghost starts, otherwise when you come back the PC may be sat waiting at the CD boot menu again.
