Hello, I am trying to get a Norton Ghost boot cd to work on my computer. I am using a SATA CD/DVD drive to boot the cd with, and it keeps giving me a "1. HD System Type -(13)" error or a "Boot failureBoot from CD/DVD:
1. HD System Type - (1F)" error

I have tried the disk on another computer and it will boot from the cd.

I have also tried using both a IDE CD drive instead of the SATA on my computer and it still does not work. I am guessing there is some problem with the boot files on the disk or something that was written in the Ghost image.

If you have any ideas, please let me know right away. Thanks

Ross

Ghost doesn't natively support SATA Drives and when you make a Boot Disc the SATA drivers are not included.

Which version of Ghost are you using here?

I beleive we are using the enterprise solution suite...whatever the newest one is.

We have even tried running the disk on my system with a non SATA drive too and it doesnt work. Thanks for any help you can give.

It is the Ghost Manual Download site start at page 181 and look at the error messages to see if your error is reported.

Also try this it may help on page 176 of the manual you will find a heading called

[b]Editing the boot.ini file[/b]

[i]If necessary, you can edit the boot.ini file directly from the recovery environment.
[b]Note: You cannot edit the boot.ini file on Windows Vista.[/b] This section only refers to Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.[/i]

And so on that may solve the problem. Incidentally I can not remember was this used with a Vista Load? If so that may be a contributing factor.

Because this has a SATA Drive in it it may pay to create a new Boot Disc on this machine and see if that solves the problem. I'm not sure what is happening here as it's not something that I've run across previously but I have found that some of the older versions of Ghost need to have the Boot Disc's made on the machine that you are attempting to recover from to work properly. Unfortunately this is not something that I've run across with the new version.
