Ghosting to the wrong disk

The other day I was starting up Norton Ghost to recover an old ghost image and setup a clean machine. I went through the menus as I usually do on autopilot, source, destination, etc…

Surprisingly, right before it started “doing it’s thing” I got the error message: “the destination disk could not be locked (643)”, I was baffled at first as I never encountered this error. Going back and trying again I noticed what happened. As I picked the destination disk, I used the wrong disk and marked one of the active disks instead of the clean one. Obviously the destination could not be used.

Why am I writing this useless piece of information??? You know who, knows exactly ;-)

peace to you all :-)
