Then show ‘NORTON GHOST 15.0 with (amongst other things) ‘WELCOME TO THE RECOVERY DISK’ Then to ‘Licence Agreement’ with ‘Accept’ button Then should go to Symantec Dialog Box (some yellow background) There should be, in middle of lower screen, a bar containing green oscillating dashes and below this the words ‘MICROSOFT CORPORATION’ Once this left to right action completes, the screen goes completely black and nothing further happens.

Underneath this there was a grey horizontal bar on which white filled from left to right (to indicate progress) Got a message in white writing on an all black background ‘WINDOWS IS LOADING FILES’ Was asked to press any key to boot from CD When the system is booted, with the SRD in the optical drive, this is what happens: My clients are always backing up to external USB drives. In my past experience, the issues of 'inability to use 64 Bit drivers' has never been, and nor should it be, a problem when access to network drives is not required. The backups are made to an external USB drive. If the SRD will not work in the RE I troubleshoot the issue and, if I cannot overcome the issue, sadly recommend a different product.ĬURRENT ISSUE: The client has a Samsung RV511 Notebook running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 Bit. This seems common sense to me, everyone is happy, and Symantec gets the sale. If it does, then the client purchases a full retail edition of NG15 in order to obtain an Activation Code using which his trial can be converted to the full product.

I then test the SRD to see if it will work in the RE should it ever be needed. iso file and create a Recovery Disk from this. Once this is set up and working, I download the free Symantec Recovery Disk. In order to prevent my client losing money by buying first and coming unstuck later, I always download and install a 30 day NG15 free trial first. However, on behalf of a client, I have now run into a situation I have never come across before and there are no error messages or codes.īACKGROUND: When I recommend to a client that they should use Norton Ghost 15 as a Backup and Restore solution, I stress the value of being able to restore files or a complete image from within the RE should it not be possible to boot the computer. I have very occasionally run into issues in the past where an error code has presented and one is able to proceed from that point. In the course of a varied set of IT issues I come across, I now have a completely new one related to the Symantec Recovery Disk for Norton Ghost 15.

I help a considerable number of people with their computer issues in my role as a Consultant.
