Re: Norton Ghost - Can't copy drive because it is in use

[<Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

I didn't get a chance to try again until this morning.  I don't see any error message but I noticed that clicking on Ignore will unmount(?) the disk and allow the copy.  As of around noon today it appeared to be working.

I don't know why the message but at least I can get a copy of the drive.

Rick

Is there an error code?

I use Ghost extensively and have never run into that problem.

As for a WRKOBJLCK ... check out the sysinternals package from Microsoft (http://midurl.com/k)
