New Hard Disk Problem with Norton Ghost

[schwine1]

Mac Pro 10.6.3
Boot Camp
Norton Ghost 15.0
Windows 7
Hard disk: Seagate Sata 2

I've just installed a new hard disk that is intended as a backup disk for Windows 7, installed through Boot Camp on the Mac Pro tower. I've chosen Norton Ghost as the backup software, and when I try to select the installed drive as the backup disk via Windows 7, I receive the following error messages: "H is a read only location and not a valid destination. Error E7D1001D: unable to open. Error EBAB03F1: access is denied."

On the Mac side in Disk Utility, I have erased the new disk using the "Zero Out Data" option, and the status information for this disk is: write status: read/write; s.m.a.r.t. status: verified; partition map scheme: GUID Partition Table.

Basically, the newly installed hard disk seems to have read and write status on the Mac side but not on the Windows 7 side.

Thanks for any tips on how to make Norton Ghost read this disk as read/write within Windows 7.

From what I remember, Windows doesn't know what "GUID Partition Table" is. It does Master Boot Record. I believe that is the issue here so it'll need to be changed to get Windows to handle it.

I've got it working now with MS-DOS (FAT) selected in the Partition - Format window, and Master Boot Record selected in the Partition - Options window.

Thanks for the support.
