So, I have a copy of Ghost 10.
This package has a bootable CD that I've used to make images of my XP load sets for years now (by going to the "restore" option and "restore from legacy image" you get to a point where you can run "Symantec Ghost 8.2" and copy disk to image...)
However, with Vista builds, if I do what I've done with XP builds, I get to the point where it would want to start making/copying the image and a dialog box pops up that says:
A source volume could not be locked as it is in use by another process. Do you wish to attempt to force a dismount on the volume?
ALL OPEN HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
OK. This would make sense -- *if* I was booted from Vista. But I'm not. I'm booted from CD-ROM.
Any suggestions here as to what might actually be going on here?

Using Ghost to clone Vista image -- error -- workaround?
It just sounds like it might simply not work with Vista. Some people have reported troubles with ghosting and BitLocker... but still, might just be a dodgy product?

I thought about that, but this is with a cleanly-reformatted current (cough) build of Vista. 5308 did that as well. BitLocker isn't even turned on at this point.
