well, i'm not buying another symantec product

my ghost 9.0 backups have been failing for the past week because it claims that the target disk is full. actually, windows says that my 200 gig drive has 113 gigs of free space. i'm backing up to a 150 gig disk. that should work. but apparently, symantec's code monkeys somehow fucked up the calculation of disk space in the lower-right corner (13.9GB!?!!). it's like they dropped a zero or something. so my backup won't go through because it thinks there's not enough disk space (150 gig disk is reading as 49.1GB!).

ok, maybe they have a patch or fix online.

The versions of Norton Ghost listed below have been discontinued. Phone, email and live chat support are no longer available.

fuck that, i'm not paying $49 to upgrade to ghost 10 because they don't know how to divide properly. i hope this post gets indexed by google.
