The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by andy1645 in Hard Drives & Storage, Norton Ghost Backup Software, Backup & Restore Software
I absolutely CAN NOT get my "T" series' Lenovo ThinkPad's to Ghost properly. I ALWAYS end up with a blinking cursor after dropping the image onto another drive. I've been using Ghost for many years and have tried all the tricks I've found so - I"m putting this out here.
Parameters: Ghost 8.3; IBM T series Laptops - all. Windows XP Professional w/SP2.
What I've tried: I have Disabled the IBM Predestop Area under Security in the BIOS
I have tried Ghost32 -IB; -PMBR. I've tried running FIXMBR after dropping an image (from the Recovery Console). The one thing I've not done is try running Ghost in a pure DOS environment and running ghost.exe versus ghost32 in the GUI but I can't imagine how this would help. Furthermore, I do all imaging through a USB - drive adapter kit - this works on ALL OTHER imaging jobs I do including some of the older IBM ThinkCenter's. It's just these blasted StinkPads that I am about to lose whatever hair I have left over!
