What version of Ghost ?
Normally Ghost 12 is required to handle the Vista Ntfs offset.
If you used an earlier version, provide specifics since only a few methods and only from an Ghost boot disk or Ghost Emergency cd can done. Any prior version used in a Windows Vista GUI environment, including those where Ghost was present on an earlier o/s(XP) then Vista upgraded on top will not function.
