Any Ghost 2003 users here?

[Albert Sporrer]

Hello Newsgroup,
I was wondering if anybody in here could help me decoding an errorlog from
Ghost 2003. I tried to burn an image to DVD but it did not work.
I know this is not symantec newsgroup, but I'm expecting more help here.

Thanks

Albert:

You would get better results from a Symantec News Group for such a specific Symantec/Norton
error.
Such as; symantec.customerservice.general

BTW: The language used (German ?) doesn't help.

I've had this problem before with certain DVD Writers.
Norton Ghost prefers CD's for ghost image burning and is
temperamental with DVD Rewriters.

Alternate method:
Create a dedicated Image partition on your disk drive (Requires free or
unallocated space - or Partition Magic, BootItNG). Create/Verify your
image to the dedicated partition. Then boot to Windows and burn images
to your preferred media. Much more reliable than direct burns to CD/DVD.

One must make sure that you are using Ghost 2003 Build 793. The last build version of 2003.

Hello Newsgroup,
I was wondering if anybody in here could help me decoding an errorlog from
Ghost 2003. I tried to burn an image to DVD but it did not work.

I was going crazy trying to make Ghost 2003 write to my DVD. I was
using Verbatim -RW 2X media, and it just would not work on either of
two completey different drives. I then tried Verbatim +RW 4X, and
voila, works like a charm. Based on this, I must assume that Ghost is
somewhat sensitive to the type of media in use.

I have version 2003.775, how do I get version 793 please?

Fridhelm:
Assuming you're connected to the net, access your Ghost 2003 program and
click on the LiveUpdate menu item. On the following screen click the Next
button. The program will connect to Symantec's site and automatically
download/install the latest update to your Ghost program, i.e., build
2003.793.

Thanks ;-), but live update does not find any updates for Ghost 2003.

Then it is propably no longer offered up as an update do the time lapse.

Ghost 2003 is included with Ghost 9 and it is the latest build.

As a test, I just installed Ghost 2003 (original installation CD about 2
yrs.old) in one of my machines. The build shown was 2003.775. Using the
LiveUpdate feature, Symantec downloaded the 789 build and *not* the latest
build, i.e., 2003.793. Why they provided the 789 and not the 793 build I
don't know. I plan to contact Symantec about this.

In any event, I think there's no problem using the 789 build in lieu of the
793 one. The basic problem with the earlier versions of Ghost 2003 shortly
after it was released had to do with problems involving disk-to-disk cloning
to some USB external HDs. I'm pretty sure (but not absolutely certain) that
the problem was corrected by the time the 789 build was released. I recall
there was also a problem involving the cloning of SATA drives and I can't
remember whether that problem was corrected by the time the 789 build was
released.

I assume the Ghost 2003 CD which accompanies the Ghost 9 (retail, boxed
copy) program is the 2003.793 build.

Fridhelm: Did you check the Help > About Norton Ghost 2003 item? What build
is shown?

[Fridhelm Neubauer]

I don't buy Ghost 9 because I don't like it, I prefer to image my disk in
DOS
I guess that means that I have to stick with my old Ghost version.

build is shown?
Anna

Of course, still showing build 775

I've had Ghost 2003 since, I dunno, 2003, with NIS and NAV 2003 and
have had live update set to auto for some years. I don't like Ghost 9
or any other imaging software that runs in Windows.

I just checked the Ghost build and it is now at 2003.793, so live
update must have worked for me, but unfortunately I don't know when -
perhaps now Ghost 9 is out, they are discouraging Ghost 2003, even
though it is on the 9 CD? Strange that the online update version
would have reverted to an earlier build!

BTW, Build 793 writes to my DVD burner fine, including spanning images
over 4 DVD's. (Note to self - I must uninstall some of that junk
software and games I have installed)

Try this... http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/consumer.html
use Automated Support Assistant and I think there is a new live update for
live update..then try to update ghost

Unfortunately there's no update to the latest build.
The Automated Support Assistant did not find any issues with
Norton Ghost 2003.

sorry that didn't help

A few weeks I mentioned that if you're working with Symantec's Norton Ghost
2003, you should be using the latest version - 2003.793. Presumably that's
the version included as a separate program Ghost 2003 CD accompanying the
retail Ghost 9 package. (I don't think Ghost 2003 will be included in the
about-to-be- released Ghost 10 version. If anyone has info on this, please
pass it on).

A Ghost user responded that he was using an earlier build of Ghost 2003, but
when he used Symantec's LiveUpdate feature to download/install the latest
build, it apparently downloaded/installed an earlier build than the 793 one.

As a test, I installed Ghost 2003 (original installation CD about 2 yrs.old)
in one of my machines. The build shown was 2003.775. Using the LiveUpdate
feature, Symantec downloaded the 789 build and *not* the latest build, i.e.,
2003.793. Why they provided the 789 and not the 793 build I don't know. I
contacted Symantec about this and here's their reply:
"To have the latest update .793 in your system, you need to run LiveUpdate
twice or thrice. If you run it only once, then it will be updated to .789
build. If you run LiveUpdate twice, it shall update to the .793 update."

("Thrice" no less! Who says Symantec is not a class act?)

Anyway, I tried it (after installing an old version of Ghost 2003), and sure
enough that's what happens. The first download does indeed install the .789
build and then the second download (which, of course, you have to trigger
again) installs the .793 build.

So in my case I didn't have to do it "thrice".

build. If you run LiveUpdate twice, it shall update to the .793 update."

Same thing with most of their Programs.... you have to run liveupdate
as many times as there "were" major upgrades/updates. I guess they
don't know how to integrate all their upgrades/updates into a single
run. I have seen this same thing with fresh installs of NAV 2003,
2004, 2005 and their NIS.
