i had a lot of problems this week with my 'pute so i decided to restore from the image file on my second drive this usually takes about 20/25 mins as the ghost image is 6gigs in size. This time it took nearly 2 Hours transfering at a rate of 61MB Minute.Does this sound right.Earlier i tried to convert my drive to ntfs file system with the convert command but this failed.So i then formatted the drive via a win 98 boot disk to fat32 like i allways use.Then this was when the ghost image took these 2 hours.Hopefully you can shed some light on this as what type of transfere speed between the two drives should i have had.
Thanks

Is your image NTFS? if so it was prolly converting the partiton while restoring. It does definatley sound like you have a problem, not sure what I will think about it some more

I had a 2 gig ghost image and it took about 20-25 mins to load it back up. The transfer rate starts fairly fast, but after time it levels off at a steady rate. So the best time estimation for how long it will take comes around 5 minutes or so into the restore.

A 5gb image takes about 15 minutes to restore onto my NTFS drive using ghost.
Sounds like your restore time is way too long...
Why??? thats a hard one to answer m8....

I bet you it has something to do with the speed of your hard drive. I am guessing that my HD was 5400 rpm while these others had 7200 rpm. Just a thought

Hi there andru
I did a restore today and aprox 3 gigs took me 10 min too restore. I did notice one thing though, it looked like it froze while it was busy with a large file, the timer and everything else stopped. It then continued, but took 2 minutes longer than it had initially said.
Don't know if this sheds a little light on your problem?
Good luck.

The transfer rate seems way too low.
If your doing it through a boot disk, try making one with MSDOS rather than that IBM-DOS that Ghost normally uses.

Andru
As far as I remeber. If you make a startup disk with Ghost it by default uses PC Dos. It does give you an option to use MS-Dos, you must just insert a MS-Dos startup disk when asked and it will then make a Ghost bootup disk using MS-Dos files.
Hope this helps.
