Ghost couldn't find my directories

I added a second hard drive and partitioned it (D-G) per Rad's suggestion (He didn't actually suggest D-G). Next I made a Ghost image of C drive and saved it on the new disk in dir D. After a couple of months the PC got sick and I decided to partition my original C drive and restore the Ghost Image from when it was well.
Now the origainal hard drive is C - E and the new hard drive is F - I and my Ghost image is now on dir F. Ghost wouldn't see the directories on the second hard drive so I thought I was S.O.L. I had to reboot back to DOS and copy the Ghost image from dir F new drive to dir D on the original drive with the copy command. Than Ghost was able to find it and do the restore. Anybody ever have a weird situation like this? Do I need to make a new Ghost boot disk so it will have current drive information?
Thanks,Richard

never heard of this. several factors to consider.
what version of ghost?
restoring w/ same version used to create image?
using pc-dos or ms-dos?
you could see/use/access the drive w/ version of dos in cooy util, but not ghost's version of dos?
that seem to be yer problem.
Have u read about the probs w/ pc-dos? .. listed under 'norton ghost boot floppy' here:

I find that this is a problem t hat Rad refers to in his Ghost tutorial, altho he had slightly different symptoms than I. I tried to make a new disk image tonight. When I boot from my WinME boot disk and run a copy of ghostpe.exe from another drive than Ghost can see all my directories but the mouse won't work and it pisses me off. I can't seem to control where the image will be placed using the alt-key method. I can't figure out how to get a boot disk with mouse support that I can run ghostpe from. Anybody know how?????

navigating without mouse is no prob. simply use tab & arrow keys.
if you're lost without a mouse, create a ghost boot disk and replace pc-dos files with ms-dos per instructions:
http://service4.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ghost.nsf/docid/2000092514554025
or see if ghost will do it for you:

(this won't work for me)
the ghost boot disk will include your mouse drivers for you.
you can also find boot disk s at

Sure, I could do it with the alt-letter keys but it really irritated me that I couldn't use the mouse. Thanks to some Radvice and the Symantec support site I finally came up with a boot disk that has Ghostpe and a mouse driver on it. Works fine. It took a bunch of tries to get it right- I don't know much about DOS- and I honestly couldn't tell you what I finally did to get the mouse driver to load.
Thanks, Richard
