I had the same sort of problem. I tracked it down to the machines that I was using to do a disk to disk ghost on were not using LBA translation to read the disk. The easiest way to fix it is to ghost the disks using a Dell desktop or alternatively try to find the disk translation setting in the BIOS and change it to LBA. To do this on the Compaq I was using I needed a BIOS upgrade. I would imaagine that the machine you are pushing the image to needs to be set to read the disk using LBA.
which is about what I'm experiencing. I'm going to dig up some other makes/models to test on, to see if the problem is just these new latitudes or that I just can't make an image.
