David,
Didn't hear back from either you or Raymond on this one. I went ahead and ran -fnx on the command line to start Ghost to disable INT 13 access. But I still couldn't get ghost to stop creating a corrupted image file of the 1st partition ad infinitum. Only way I can ghost that partition correctly by removing EZ-Drive, and writing the image to a 2nd partition < 8.4GB on my HDD.
Has anyone else reading the list had problems ghosting the 1st partition of a > 8.4GB HDD with drive overlay installed?
Also... I think you wrote that you hadn't had any problem with Partition Magic recognizing the full 20GB before you installed EZ-Drive. Or am I fuzzy on that? When I removed EZ-Drive to image my 1st partition the other day, I checked the partition structures with PM. I found PM's DOS 'GUI' of drive space ran off the right side of the screen.

I also ran into the same problem with Ghost on my new 40GB HDD with EZ-Drive
installed that I had with my 20GB HDD some months back. Ghost never stops
I removed EZ-Drive, and Ghost works fine now. And with Win98SE seeing all
of the partitions, I see no reason to re-install it again. Anyone have any
Turn off Extended INT 13 direct HD access in Ghost and you'll have it running
just fine. Works great over here w/EZ-Drive.
Hmm.... That would mean running the -fnx switch t0 disable Int13 access. Maybe that's the problem, ? as I've been running -ffx to enable extended interrupt 13h access.
Last year when I learned how to use Ghost to image partitions, I read Raymond's reply to a post of yours on this topic where he was saying that Int13 access acutually needs to be >enabled<, not disabled.
I'll have a go at -fnx and see what happens. But if I'm not mistaken, I have tried -fnx too in the past, and had the same problem with endless Ghosting of the 1st partition.
