So how long did it take to 'verify' the backup CD's? Was this in the 'test' mode? -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputerHardware-ConsumerElectronics.com sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fax: 209-882-9602 TechAssist Administration http://tech-assist.org techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 4orpheus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (alternates) orpheuscomputing@xxxxxxxxx (PLEASE include our previous correspondence if replying to this email!!) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Myers" <jr.myers@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 9:26 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Fw: Re: Ghost 2001 users? When I did this test with the Take Two program it also asked for the last disk, did a quick read to verify that it was the correct disk, then asked for the first disk and started to verify. I had used CD-R disks made in an external drive then used the internal drive to run the verify test after booting from a startup floppy made with the Take Two program. This is how the Take Two program works and was very simple. Maybe the Ghost program works the same way but just doesn't give clear instructions.

I think you meant it does NOT load them. :-) I tried it too, made the CD's ok, but when I went to do a 'test' restore from DOS, it never found the files on the CD's! I used cdRW disks, and the program says you CAN use cdRW disks, but I don't think that is the case. It just 'sat' there searching, searching, on and on for 10 minutes then I stopped. The program from what I understand, tells you to insert the LAST of the volume of the backup CD's. I take that to mean (in my test case) CD # 2 of 2. The program just kept repeating itself asking for the CD with the data on it. So, I put in disk # ONE of two, and it DID seem to see the backup file then because that's when the program looked like it was 'working', or doing something at least, but after 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc, it still looked like nothing was going on other than the blinking cursor in the program as if it could not read from the cdrw drive. The light on the cdrw drive was flashing at the time. Can anyone tell me if this is normal in the test mode and it just takes a lot longer than 15 minutes to test the backup CD's, or is this not normal operation and the program really cannot read from cdRW disks (only cdR disks)? -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputerHardware-ConsumerElectronics.com sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fax: 209-882-9602 TechAssist Administration http://tech-assist.org techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 4orpheus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (alternates) orpheuscomputing@xxxxxxxxx (PLEASE include our previous correspondence if replying to this email!!) ----- Original Message ----- From: "bobstv" <bobstv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 8:54 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Fw: Re: Ghost 2001 users? Well I got time this weekend to try and do a restore but the program does load the proper drivers for my CD Drive. Therefore cannot restore. Will play somemore with it, someone recommended Power Quest Drive Image & Drive Copy. I went to Power Quest web site & read about drive copy & it claims it will clone to a removable drive like ZIP ect. So I am thinking about trying that. Guess I wasted $70.00 on ghost for now, unless I put a second HDD in & clone to it. Robert J.
