GHOST ERROR CODES

Below is a list of the more common errors that GHOST may report. Make sure you are running the latest version as many errors have been fixed through GHOST revisions.

-----

10000
Incorrect path/file syntax. Ensure path and filename are correct and complete. Also make sure you have the proper user rights if trying to create an image file on the network.

10082
The Demo version of GHOST has timed out. It's time to buy!

10170
Use GHOST -OR to override the check or update to the latest version which resolves this problem.

10180
Hard drive is not responding. Check cabling, power connections, jumpers and BIOS setup. Make sure your system recognizes the hard drive by running FDISK.

10210
Invalid extended partition information probably due to the use of disk overlay software like EZ-Drive. GHOST cannot address drives entirely if they are being controlled by this type of driver.

10220
Most commonly associated with running GHOST in a Windows DOS box. Run GHOST from a DOS prompt, preferably from a DOS boot diskette.

10600
GHOST cannot execute properly due to lack of memory. See the 15040 error below for more information.

12080
Commonly associated with attempting to clone disk-to-disk over a network. GHOST will only clone disk-to-disk on a network via the NetBIOS (peer to peer) convention.

12090
A physical read or write error from or to the hard drive. Try Scandisking with a full sector scan.

14030
An unregistered version of GHOST has encountered a file with a date beyond its expiration date. Scan your system for files beyond this date and temporarily remove them from the system to allow GHOST to continue. You can locate the offender by looking at the drive:\path\filename at the bottom of the GHOST window when this error occurs.

15010
Probable corrupt image file. Run the "Check image file integrity..." option from the Local/Server menu.

15040
GHOST cannot execute properly due to lack of memory. Make sure you're loading upper memory drivers and loading devices high in your config.sys and autoexec.bat. Below is an example of a possible config.sys and autoexec.bat configuration:

CONFIG.SYS
device=himem.sys
device=emm386.exe noems I=B000-B7FF
dos=high,umb
devicehigh=(your device driver)
devicehigh=(your device driver) etc.

AUTOEXEC.BAT
loadhigh (your device or TSR)
loadhigh (your device or TSR) etc.

Below are devices you DO NOT need. They will not benefit GHOST's performance.

setver.exe
smartdrv.exe or any other disk cache utility
mouse.com or any other mouse driver

15100
Use GHOST -OR to override the check or update to the latest version which resolves this problem.

15150
Probable corrupt image file. Run the "Check image file integrity..." option from the Local/Server menu.

15160
Network traffic or collision problem.

15165
GHOST came across a marginal file usually located in an Internet Browser's cache directory. You can locate the offender by looking at the drive:\path\filename at the bottom of the GHOST window when this error occurs. Update to the latest version which resolves this problem.

15170
Due to an unformatted or invalid partition on the source hard drive. Make certain the source drive is completely allocated as GHOST looks for 100% viable media.

15175
Older error associated with the Compaq diagnostic paritition. Update to the latest version.

16040
Too many partitions on your drive. Resolved in GHOST v3.x.

19080
Most likely GHOST came accross a directoryname or filename that is corrupt.

19320
GHOST cannot continue properly due to lack of memory. See the 10540 error above for more information.
