I have a machine with a 40GB master HDD with a single partition which has XP on it and I want to bascially create a backup image of it to a 20GB FAT32 slave drive on the same channel. Ghost does not see the destination drive at all unless its NTFS which, as I understand it, Ghost cannot write to. If I do try it as NTFS I get the following error:

"Not enough room on device for dump headers"

Google doesn't offer much help on this as far as I can see.

I've tried partition to and disk to image and also tried the '-fni' switch when launching ghost and tried it from the command line but nothing works.

Any help would be awesome.

I am assuming you have less than 20Gb of data on the 40Gb drive?

Yes, its basically a new install of XP with a few utilities and small programs.

One other thing, I use an XP bootable disc and launch Ghost from that once its booted. When I check the available drives, A: and B: (the CDR as far as I can tell) are deemed local drives but C: is shown as a network drive (D: isnt shown at all).

Can you not make a direct bootable ghost CD?

I use one that just boots dos with the relevant CD Drivers.

You can use a 98 bootdisk from bootdisk.com.

Never had any problems.

Dingleberry88 :- As for using compression I am aware of that. However it's still no good if you have more than 40gb and have no idea what size to expect after compression!
