Norton Ghost: Unable to find a free MBR slot on the Virtual Partition DLL. This is usually due to there being no free primary partition slots left on the boot disk.
I want to Ghost a computer or a partition of the computer and when I try ether I get the following message "Unable to find a free MBR slot on the Virtual Partition DLL. This is usually due to there being no free primary partition slots left on the boot disk." I get the same message when I try to create a Ghost image to CD's or a file on an external hard drive. Does anyone know what the problem is and how I could fix it?
Thank you,

1) Buy Acronis True Image
2) Only use the 'Clone Disk' feature to clone an exact backup copy of your drive---it's beautiful.
This is THE most reliable backup of anything I have ever found.... too many false negative and false positive backup results occur when I use anything but the 'clone' feature on True Image. Nothing beats an EXACT copy of your drive. Clones 43GB of data in 25 minutes, and you can go right to the drive and open files and everything to test that your backup data is in fact accessible.
3) Use Storage Crypt 2.0 to encrypt the backup drive fully.....then
4) Store it in your car or other location that is not in the same location as your main machine; if somone steals the drive then they need to know A) what program it is encrypted with; B) what the password is to decrypt it.... the most you'll lose is an encrypted drive that's useless to the thief.
