From: "Ned F. Reiter" 

That's similar to what happened to me the other day.  I now have Ghost and
I first ran it from diskette and cloned the 5 partitions on the boot drive.
It cloned them, but filled the whole 120GB with them.  Not what I expected.
I left all 3 drives attached and when I booted up, XP changed the boot
drive from C: to I: and relettered some other drives.  Took a registry
change to fix the boot drive letter and disk manager to fix the others.

When I try to run Ghost from Windows, it wants to create a Virtual
Partition from a folder, but when I give it a folder, it fails because it
can't defrag it.  I guess it's time to read manual.
