According to Symantec:

Solution:
This problem has a variety of causes. In most situations, running Ghost with the -NTIL command-line switch resolves the problem. This switch tells Ghost to ignore the NTFS log file. Use the -NTIL switch when creating an image and when restoring the image. Images created and restored with this switch restore correctly.

If the problem happens on one computer but not on others, use a disk utility to check the hard drive for errors before running Ghost.

Using older Ghost versions
Ghost displays this message when the computer has an NTFS partition and has Windows NT Service Pack 4 installed. Service Pack 4 changed the NTFS driver to provide compatibility with the Windows 2000 file system. This change prevents Ghost versions 5.1b and earlier from correctly interpreting the log file. Norton Ghost 5.1c resolves this issue in most cases.

Consumer Ghost versions are available at retail outlets. To obtain the latest corporate Ghost version, see the document Where to get the Symantec Ghost 6.5 or 7.0 Enterprise Edition update. For more information, see the documents How to update a Ghost 6.x version to a later version and How to determine your version of Ghost.

Service Pack 4 was released 10-23-98. You can tell whether you have Service Pack 4 installed by looking at the blue screen during the boot process. The currently installed Service Pack number will be displayed after the build number.
