First off, I want to say I'm sorry if this has been answered in another place.  I did a search and nothing came up for me.

I have created the ghost CD on steroids, and I think it's GREAT!  I do some computer repair on the side and always wanted a way to create a restore CD/DVD without having to install ghost on the machine in question.

In my searching, I found some great advice for adding better USB support and I plan on playing with that a little.  However,
I do have a question about adding support for SATA drives to the disk.  When I booted my main computer from the CD I made, it didn't see my secondary drive.  My primary is EIDE, but the secondary is SATA.  Granted, in this situation I don't need to create a restore image of the SATA drive, but a day will come when I might need to.

What do I need to do to get this functionality to the boot cd?

Thanks in advance!

You may have to adjust your BIOS so your SATA controller is compatible with DOS at least temporarily while using DOS Ghost.

And/or you may have to start Ghost with the *-fni* switch--you can actually do that with the boot CD you have already created--simply *quit* Ghost, and at the A:\ prompt, type *ghost.exe -fni*  (of course without the *'s), and press *enter*.

If you were to try the *-noide* switch, your primary EIDE HDD would no longer be available, as well as probably your optical drive if it is IDE too!

SATA HDD's and Ghost!

Re: Bootable cd without floppy

Report back with the results of your testing--it would be of interest!

Thanks for the tip.  We have some PCs at work with only SATA drives.  I'll tinker on one of them and see if I have the same issues.

Well, enableing the SATA raid in the BIOS seemed to have cleared up the problem.  I can now see to image from or to my secondary drive.  That's quite a bit easier than adding a driver into the mix.

Thanks!
