Ghost error, Read Sector Failure
Hi. I always like to ghost my XP Pro machine. I am using Ghost 2003 and about 15% into the burning process, it errors "Application error 29004, Read Sector Failure, result = 1, drive = 0, sectors 111517775 to 111517839." I am wasting precious DVD-R's and CD's thanks to this. I have run scandisk successfuly. Any ideas?
Another note: Defrag your source drive to improve the performance. ...;-)

Nope. Didn't work. I used both of those switches. That is 4 more CD-R's that I have to trash. :( If I have bad sectors, wouldn't scandisk catch that? And I always defrag before cloning. Any other ideas?

Well that worked. I fixed the bad sectors (which chkdsk didn't find much less fix) with that nice little program called HDD Regenerator. I am new to EE. Since I solved my own question, do I get to have the points? ;)
Post a note in Community Support with a link to this question saying you solved your own problem, and you will be refunded your points.

But does it really matter that I get my points back? I am a paid member and I thought we have unlimited points for questions.
True, you have unlimited point for asking question, but it just a matter of closing the question...;-)
Ghost -FNI
If that does not work, recreate with the -FFX switch also:
Ghost -FFX -FNI
These switches force Ghost to use a different method for accessing the drive.
This should help...;-)
