Title: DOS Gost boot disk, writing to CDRW disk
Post by user1 on Aug 11th, 2006 at 1:35pm
Using the setup "A Better USB 2.0 DOS Driver for Ghost", I am able to read CDRW disk. I have been unable to Write to the same disk. Viewing the director, shows Zero bytes available, on the disk. I would appreciate any responce to the resolution to the write problem. Saving user files to CDRW prior to Image replace would be a valuable resource. Thanks, User1

Not sure I'm following--the above driver is for DOS USB devices--is your optical drive a USB device?

You can load a USB DOS driver, in addition to the Panasonic USB DOS driver, to allow for access to a USB optical drive.

Are you talking about accessing the optical drive while in Ghost?

Or, are you talking about accessing the optical writer from a DOS prompt--there has to be a program that is loaded that has optical writing ability built-in--one can not simply use a DOS save command to write to an optical disc.

You have to have an unused optical CD-R in order to write to the disc--or, if you have a CD-RW (rewriteable), I believe Ghost will offer to erase it first so it's *blank*, if it already has data on it, in order to be able to save data to the CD-RW during a Ghost operation.

Please clarify what the problem is that you are having.
