Norton Sys Works/Ghost 2003 Won't Update

[mobo57]

Recently my Norton System Works/Norton Firewall starting giving me error messages when I tried to update. The error was could not connect/update at this time try later. And my Ghost 2003 won't see any drive but my RAID 0. I've tried shutting off everything, firewall, anti virus etc, uninstall, re-install again and again. Nothing works. Tried a search at their website and nothing comes up.
Anybody having problems like this?
W2K SP4 installed.

Did you pay for an update? That software is dated. When did you install it? Was it a MB freebie? MB freebies are all trial software for the most part.

Full bought versions. Paid for update thru sometime in '04, will have to check when though. Even though, Ghost should work. Can't figure out why it will not see my EIDE drive.

I just went through hell with Norton 2003 on a WinME machine. The owner paid for the update and when she loaded it as instructed it crashed the system, refused to uninstall, stopped the viris scanning and let in a nasty virus and that could not be cleaned out. Finally in desparation I reformatted the drive and reloaded the OS. With a clean install I reoladed Norton system works 2003 again and the update and crashed the system again with the exact problem as before. After reloading a second time, my advice to her was to load NSW 2004 or forget it. I have had no issues with 2004 myself with XP. Sorry I can't be more help here. :(

What version of Ghost is this?

Although I'm on XP Pro....SP2...Ghost 2003 sees my RAID array and IDE drive fine...

Don't forget, you need 2003 or corporate edition 7.5 or later to Write to NTFS.

Earlier version will read NTFS, but only later will write to NTFS...

Does this help?

Ok...are you using the GUI ghost, or booting from a disk and using the DOS based?
