Environment
GSS 3.x
DS 8.x
Resolution
Ghost was not designed for use with Apple Macintosh computers. However, you may be able to take / restore an image by means of a sector copy. Use the command line switch -IR . Typically, if Ghost can see the hard disk, then it can image it. Before you can count an image as a success, make sure you can restore it successfully and boot to the OS.
NOTE: GSS 3.x and DS 8.x only support creating/deploying imaged to Windows and Linux and not to Apple Macintosh computers, though there was a period of time when Deployment Solution did support this imaging but it ended in DS 8.6 as per the following documentation Creating and Deploying Mac Images.
