    So I started the next step of my "ghost my laptop hard drive to an external hard drive" quest last night,

    Step 1, managed to get Ghost to see my firewire hard drive which I'd formatted with a 30GB FAT32 partition (for Ghost to use for images). Took a bit of doing (standard firewire drivers that come with ghost didn't work, but I found some that did).

    Step 2. Create image, seemed to work okay

    Step 3. Check image, uh oh, decompression error???

    Step 4 (step 2 revisited) create image, but no compression

    Step 5 (step 3 revisited) CRC errors in image file... PANTS!!!

    Okay, anyone have any ideas or thoughts? I'm a bit clueless as to were to go from here, I was thinking of creating an image on my local drive, and then copy that image off to the firewire drive, see if that works any better..
