Mouse Support....or NOT

Here's a newbie experience that might help others, plus some other questions I need help on.
When I tried to use Ghost on my new Gateway system under XP, I found that I had lost mouse support (which worked just fine on my Win98 system). It took some head-scratching for me to realize that the Gateway mouse was USB-infrared, which I guess is not supported under DOS (??). Plugging a regular PS-2 mouse into the available port solved that problem. Mouse returned, and Ghost imaging went just fine.
Now questions:
1. Is there a way to make a DOS disk that WILL support a USB infrared mouse? I don't want to have to use two of them!
2. Why couldn't I proceed w/o mouse support? When I reached the screen with the drop-down selector for my image destination drive, I couldn't find a key combo that would get me through this. Arrow keys didn't seem to help. I had to Ctrl-C out of that.
3. My logical drives under XP that are used to hold Ghost images show up with different letters when I boot under DOS. I guess this is becuz Ghost doesn't recognize the NTFS parititons (logical drives) on my system--only the FAT32 image destination drives (created for that purpose). Is this right? I assume there's no way to fix this confusing wrinkle. It did surprise me, 'tho, and means you'd better provide useful "labels" for your extended drives/parititons.
4. I used the same DOS boot disk that I had used for my Win98 system. Should I have an XP version for my XP system?
As always, tnx for any help.
