Hi hope someone with better knowledge can help me. 
I have two HDD installed, Disk1 and Disk2. Disk1 is partitiond into “C” & “D” Disk2 I keep for backup. Disk1 “C” has the operating system XP Pro. and I use for everyday work. Disk1 “D” I keep stuff for reference like encyclopedia, dictionaries and the like. I never write to this partition and keep it this way as I feel it saves time doing virus and othet checks that only need to be done on my main partition “C”.
The problem is when I use Norton Ghost. To make a back-up Ghost lets me select Disk1 “C” which is fine but when I want to restore it will not let me make the same selection only alowing me Disk1 “C”&“D” together. This gives me only “C” and no partitions. “D” is gone. I now have to repartition Disk1 again and reload all my referece stuff.
Is there something I am missing that will let me restore only to the “C” partition.
Thanks.
Right, well heres your solution…
First click on Ghost basic, then on ‘Restore’.
This brings up the ‘Restore Wizard’
You will get a largish dialogue box asking you to locate your Ghost image file.
Usually you get a drop down menu which will show you where those images are, but if you moved the file somewhere else then you’ll have to use ‘browse’ to locate it.
Once you have located the image file, click on ‘next’
I imagine you are already familiar up to here.
The next dialogue box is ‘Select source and destination’.
In the ‘Source’ side of the dialogue box…
Here is where your trouble lies, what you are shown is a small heirarchy tree, with the named Ghost file at the very top, and this looks a little bit like an icon for an empty floppy drive under that there is a very short dotted line to another icon, and this shows the file size.
The default behaviour has both these items highlighted in blue, what you need to do is to click on the file size icon, and the highlight will then dissappear from the image filename and only the filesize will be highlighted.
This show up a few bits of information in the grey area just below ‘source’.
This then allows you to select the destination to which you wish to restore the partition in the right hand side of the dialogue box.
It just a matter of confirming the action by hitting ‘next’.
Casdave- my hero! I think you hit the problem on the nail. I whent through what you said short of an actually restore and it seemed to work.
Thank’s
Glad to be of assistance, there’s always a little bit of satisfaction getting to this type of thread first with a definative answer, it doesn’t happen often, some livewires usually gets there first.
