Ghost 2003 and SATA drives
May 31^st, 2007 at 1:36pm

I have successfully used 2003 to create and reimage systems with IDE devices. Now that I have Dell's with SATA optical drives and hdds, I am no longer able to use my trusty Ghost 2003. I figured if anyone has figured out which SATA drivers, if any, to use my problem would be solved. Keep in mind that I have no floppy drive so I boot to the Ghost 2003 cd...please help!

Until such time as you attain the requisite SATA drivers, consider the technique outlined in the link below: http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1179815709/2#2 EP

Boot directly from the Norton Ghost 10.0 installation CD itself and home in on the phrase 'legacy'. You can perform Backups, Restores, and Clones in a Windows XP Preinstalled Environment just as if you were in DOS-dependent v2003.

Check out the link below if you really want to get serious about using Norton Ghost Ver 8.2 from a bootable CD:

Your system should support being able to boot to DOS and get an A:\ prompt--you might have to change a setting in the BIOS:

Re: Bootable cd without floppy

Once at a DOS prompt, start Ghost with the *-fni* switch--for most, this solves the SATA problem: ghost.exe -fni
