I've had similar problems with Ghost 2003 and similar error
messages. I have found that both G4U (netbsd) and G4L (linux)
have no problem making an image. My classroom machines have
98, XP, and FC3 now, and they don't have a problem.
Both basically use dd to copy the data, pipe it thru gzip, and then ftp
it to a ftp server.
G4U is run from boot diskettes, and also included on the ubcd
(Ultimae Boot CD). G4L is a sourceforge/freshmeat project, but the
current author doesn't seem to be around since Nov/Dec. I've been
making updates to the project on my site.
