The fact that Ghost worked once shows that all is well. However, it is
hard to imagine what has now gone wrong since.
If you were able to image to a file it shows that you selected the
correct destination drive. Are you sure you selected the same drive when
you tried to clone?
Why I ask is that when working with Ghost it is sometimes difficult to
know what drive you are ghosting and which drive you are ghosting to
because when working in DOS, as Ghost does, HDs are numbered differently
from the "C" and "D" we all are familiar with.
If this is not the reason then there are two other reasons why Ghost may
have failed.
1. Maybe there is more than one partition on your "C" drive and this
partition information has been carried over to the "D" drive.
2. If during the first cloning you set it up so that the size of the
disk ends up the same size as the data in the "C" drive then it could
possible have partitioned the "D" drive to that size. Have a look in
Windows Explorer and see if what drives are listed. From what you have
said so far, I would expect "A", "C" and "D" drives plus your CD drive
if you have one.
