[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 411006, member: 20838"] Wow, this is a blast from the past, I used to use Ghost quite often in the days of Win95 and 98. If i remember correctly you can only restore certain ghost HDD backup images onto another harddrives of identical size and disk geometry. I'd suggest trying to create a virtual drive which is identical to the original then try running the ghost image onto it. Finally, if that goes successfully (and that's a big 'if') you could then make another backup of that drive in it's entirety using a more modern drive imaging app and that should then be installable on almost any drive. Note, if the original drive was IDE you make hit further issues if you're trying to install to a newer SATA drive. Good luck, I think you're gonna need it.. [/QUOTE]
