Ghost not mounting hard drive with error "Invalid Destination Drive"

Asked by fbrsupport in Miscellaneous Software

Tags: , , ,

Hello,

I am trying to image an HP xw6600 using a script made through LANDesk (a workstation management tool).  LANDesk executes a script that uses Ghost 11 as it's imaging tool.

When trying to image, Ghost gives the error "Invalid Destination Drive".  Here are the troubleshooting steps I took:

 - from a command prompt, ran "diskpart", "list partition", "list disk" and "list volume" commands, no volumes partitions or disks were found
 - went into the BIOS and made sure the HD was detected, and it was
 - booted up the pc normally to see if the existing OS will load, it did
 - swapped out the HD with a known good one, still got same error
 - used the same LANDesk script to image another PC of a different model, that worked fine

Attached is the GHOSTERR.TXT file that was generated.  I know for a fact that LANDesk adds this line to it
"Command line arguments: -clone,mode=load,src=i:\#NEW#\DESKTOP\WXP3UIU.GHO,dst=1 -noIDE -fni -ffx -sure -auto"

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks!
Mark
