<grinning> Works for me, that! :-)

Ok, now I am totally frustrated. To recap, Ghost runs until 95% complete
and then I get the error message
Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: Complete System
Backup.

I haven't changed any hardware. After the copy didn't work to the 2nd
internal HD, I hooked up a USB external HD and got the same results with the
same error message. I completely removed all Norton products on my computer
using the Norton removal tool, then reinstalled Ghost. Same errors when
trying a back up to either HD.
Thinking it must be a Norton Ghost problem, I uninstalled it again and
downloaded Drive Image XML. I ran that twice, once to the internal drive
and a second time to the ext HD. I get a similar error message "A device
attached to the system is not functioning" on both tries.

Anybody got ideas?

I would assume that the message :" cannot read 4096 sectors starting at LBA
96215216." means that you have BAD blocks on your source drive. Even though
system is otherwise running fine doesn't mean that a part of the disk isn't
bad.
What I've done to identify the area is to copy or run/schedule ghost to
backup one top-level folder and its subfolders. Keep working thru drive
until you get that error - that's the part of the drive that's bad. Once the
folder is known, to fix it:
Do NOT delete the original . Rename original folder to foldername_BAD. That
leaves the data on the disk and since you'll never need it again it won't
generate errors. Then restore that folder from a previous backup
OR
try to narrow it down to a file and just rename that file (to waste less
space). and rename just one file to filename_BAD and leave on the disk.

A few days ago I ran the disk diagnosis that comes with the bios and it
came back with error code 7. From everything I've Goggled, sounds like my C
drive is on its last legs. I then ran chkdisc and it repaired/moved the
data from the corrupt area. Ghost once again failed and so did XML. I've
ordered a new HD and I hoping the old one lasts until it arrives, but yes,
all my problems seemed to be connected to my HD. Too bad the original error
message was a little more specific, instead of "a device".

Thanks,
Joe
