When it rebooted I still had both HD's connected. All I did in the BIOS was change the boot drive from the one I WAS using to the other one. The HD's are identical. Before I did all this, I deleted the pagefile from the existing C: drive (drive 0) and left the pagefile on the other HD (drive 1). Previously I was using the 2nd drive (drive 1) as a pagefile only, but at that time they both had a pagefile on them.
I just checked and there is only one PF now, and it's on the original HD. For the heck of it, I removed it and put the PF on the drive I'm using now, so I'll restart shortly and see what that did. I'll also try and boot from the other HD to see if the Restore still works on it. Thanks, -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gemini Computer & TV" <geminitv@ When it rebooted, did you still have both hard drives connected or did you disconnect one? I know from experience and talking with Norton Ghost gurus that you must disconnect one or else the paging files become corrupt. I also use Ghost to clone backup drives but I have now learned create the floppy disk boot to do it. Of course, you leave the floppy in (with the floppy as the first boot device) and when exiting from Ghost back to the A: drive prompt, you manually power off the computer, then disconnect one of the drives. Then remove the floppy disk and reboot with the single drive. What happens if you use the original drive? Do you obtain the same results?
