This is a know problem with Norton Ghost. It gets an error with the
FC3 partitions. It does work if you have it do the sector mode image,
but then it is copying all sectors of the disk, and is much slower and
creates a larger file.
Both G4U and G4L have no problem with the imaging of the
systems, but neither currently allows for DVD imaging.

What's different with the FC3 partitions than other Linux distros that
use ext3? With g4u, you can actually put it on a DVD/CD. With Fbsd
when I was playing with it, I would set up a small FTP server on my XP
machine and the large files would end up there. I would then just
copy it to a CD/DVD. If it was bigger than a DVD, I would use a
program to split it.
