Error occurs during GHOST operation showing A:\GHOSTERR.TXT? Answer: This happens when Ghost software encounters a read/write error during data copying, prompting a dialog box indicating saving error information to drive A. Generally, the appearance of A:\GHOSTERR.TXT errors may be due to the following situations: 1. ISO file is incorrect or incomplete download. Regardless of the method used to download, always verify the MD5 code. 2. CD quality: Failed recovery due to issues with purchased CDs or recorded disks. 3. CD-ROM quality: Failed recovery due to decreased disc reading ability caused by aging laser heads. 4. Recorder: Failed recovery due to poor or aged recorder leading to poor-quality discs. 5. Recording method: Poor readability of discs due to excessive recording speed. It is recommended to use 16X/24X speed for single-time recording. 6. Over-recording: Recovery failure caused by partial data loss due to exceeding disc capacity. Generally, discs with capacities within 680M are suitable. 7. Hard disk bad sectors: GHOST unable to write due to bad sectors. 8. Hard disk issues: Perform a complete format of drive C, do not add Q (example: format c:) 9. Hard disk missing letter: Recovery failure due to lost partition table caused by viruses or other unexpected events. 10. Overclocking: Recovery failure due to unstable overclocking. If the above issues are ruled out and there are still read errors, it might be other hardware problems. A complete hardware system consists of many components that form an organic whole. If a key component is unstable, the entire system will run unstably. Running Ghost in such a system naturally leads to errors. By experience, memory should be suspected first, try replacing the memory. Compatibility of dual-channel memory. Secondly, check the motherboard, hard drive (and its data cable), and also pay attention to whether the CPU heat generation is normal. Since everyone has their own experience and methods, we will stop here. Many branded machines have this issue, where a hidden partition installed by the manufacturer is used for overall system testing before the main partition. Therefore, when performing GHOST on branded machines, this issue should be noted. ------------------------------------------------- 2. Sound card driver cannot be installed! Installed but no sound, or system suddenly restarts during driver installation? Answer: Currently, the automatic recognition capability of integrated drivers has not yet reached 100% accuracy. This is reflected in individual sound cards and network cards possibly being misidentified. The most obvious example is that AD188X sound cards are mistakenly identified as Realtek sound cards. Fortunately, an installation guide will pop up before installation. At this point, users should not rush to click continue but first determine the model of the sound card. If it is indeed a Realtek sound card, proceed as instructed; if it turns out to be an AD188X sound card, click: Install from list or specified location ─&;rarr; Do not search, I want to choose the driver program to install myself. At this point, many types of sound cards will be listed. Choose SoundMAX (SoundMAX is the driver name for AD188X chips). If it was mistakenly installed, you can also find the hardware in "Device Manager", right-click ─&;rarr; Update driver, then repeat the above steps. How to know what model the sound card actually is? Open the case and look at the chip, or use the "EVEREST" comprehensive hardware detection tool found in the Start menu ─ Hardware Tool ─ Hardware Comprehensive Detection Tool. This is a skill that a qualified technician should possess, and we will not elaborate further. ------------------------------------------------- 3. After installing the system, the optical drive cannot be found! There is an exclamation mark next to the optical drive in Device Manager? Answer: This is caused by device conflict due to wrong sound card driver installation. Refer to the previous answer for how to install sound card drivers. ------------------------------------------------- 4. Why can't other computers on the network access my computer? Answer: XP itself has many items for setting up a local area network. This system does not preconfigure the local area network for security reasons. However, batch files for enabling local area network sharing have been prepared for users. Just execute them. These batch files are located in Start Menu -- Programs ─ Installer's Tools ─ Local Network Sharing. Additionally, if Kingsoft Net Shield is installed on this machine, it will cause inability to access this machine (even viewing the workgroup is impossible, annoying). Remove Kingsoft Net Shield and restart for the local area network to return to normal. ------------------------------------------------- 5. Japanese and Korean input methods cannot be used. The built-in "Microsoft Pinyin Input Method 3.0" in XP also cannot be used? Answer: Japanese and Korean input methods occupy over 60M of space in the system. We are Chinese, and the vast majority of us may never use them in our lifetime, so they have been deleted. The directory for input methods in the system is: C:\windows\ime If you really need Japanese and Korean input methods, just find a computer with XP installed, copy the entire directory over, and overwrite the existing directory. Japanese and Korean input methods will immediately return to normal. Additionally, the "Microsoft Pinyin Input Method 3.0" has also been deleted, causing errors when typing after adding this input method. To use this input method, simply recover the missing files. The folder is located at: C:\WINDOWS\system32\IME\PINTLGNT ------------------------------------------------- 6. Why did my hard drive become a removable device after installing this system, which wasn't the case before? Answer: You may be using an nForce motherboard and a serial port hard drive. The nForce chipset driver contains special IDE drivers (called Nvidia IDE SW). This system integrates this driver and installs it automatically. The appearance of a removable device icon in the system tray indicates that the driver has been correctly installed. You didn't have this icon before because you didn't install this driver, and the performance was not fully utilized. ------------------------------------------------- 7. I've installed it, but the startup speed is very slow! It's not at all like the author said, with the progress bar rolling one and a half times to pass? Answer: The speed of startup is not only related to the system but also to your hardware settings. Please check item by item: a. In the power-on self-test table, see what mode the hard drive is in. DMA mode is normal, PIO mode is extremely slow. If it's PIO mode, enter BIOS and load default values, then reboot and see if it returns to DMA. b. In the power-on self-test table, see if the optical drive is connected as a secondary drive. If so, it will seriously slow down the boot speed. Because the system checks the primary drive first, then the secondary drive, and if the primary drive is empty, it consumes several seconds here. Turn off the computer and reconnect the optical drive to the primary drive. Alternatively, in the IDE properties of the optical drive, set the primary drive to "None". Some optical drives are set to secondary drive by default from the factory. If you've never noticed it, please do so now! c. Hard drives (parallel ports) should use 80-core data lines. Do not use 40-core optical drive lines as substitutes. Optical drive lines can only reach DMA33 speed, while hard drives can reach DMA100 or DMA133. d. Newer motherboards have added SATA hard drive interfaces. And users generally only have one hard drive. This means that there will always be idle IDE or SATA ports. Each time the system boots, it checks all hard drive interfaces. Ports without devices connected will consume a few seconds checking. Therefore, these motherboards have more rolling bars during startup (such as Intel 865 and later motherboards). We should close idle IDE or SATA channels in the Device Manager. This will allow the startup to reach the ideal state of rolling one and a half times. If your hard drive is a high-speed, high-density new model, the progress bar will pass in less than one circle. ------------------------------------------------- 8. I downloaded a RAR file! I extracted it and burned all the files inside onto a CD. But why can't this CD boot? Answer: Beginners often do not know how to distinguish between file types. This is actually an ISO file. Beginners think it's a RAR file because they see a WinRAR icon before the file name. This is just the WinRAR software installed on your computer assigning it an icon. Judging file type by icon is inaccurate. You should click on the file properties to see the extension. You can see that the extension is ISO, so this is an ISO file. An ISO file contains the boot information of a CD. Do not extract it, otherwise, the boot information will be lost after extraction. If the original downloaded file has been deleted, you will need to re-download it. -------------------------------------------- 9. I didn't extract it, I directly burned the iso file! But why can't it still boot? Answer: What exactly do you mean by "direct"? Dragging the ISO into the editing window is wrong. The correct method is: Run Nero ─&;rarr; File menu ─&;rarr; Open, file type select *.iso, select the ISO file you downloaded. This is the correct way to burn. Also, note that the writing method should be selected as "CD once-burn".
