Cannot See Drive
Sep 30^th, 2007 at 7:58pm

I'm trying to restore a backup I made before I installed Windows Vista with Ghost 10. When I try to load the recovery environment from the CD, I cannot see the internal hard drive, only the external drive with the backups on it and the CD drive. I tried reformatting the drive and reinstalling XP and Ghost 10 on it. While in windows, ghost can see every drive, but not when I boot in the recovery environment. I have successfully restored backups on this computer in the past using the exact same procedure I am currently, and cannot figure out what is wrong.

Shouldn't be, but sounds like a SATA driver issue. Try loading drivers from the F6 choice.

apw,

Strange. Shouldn't be, but sounds like a SATA driver issue. Try loading drivers from the F6 choice.

I would love to, but the system in question is a laptop and has no floppy drive, and I don't have access to a USB floppy drive.

	Re: Cannot See Drive Reply #3 - Sep 30^th, 2007 at 9:58pm I can't think of an alternative so I'd try this. http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1165214368/0#0 The following way is more difficult. http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1144094456 That second link poses a question. Have you made any BIOS changes since the last restore?

	Re: Cannot See Drive Reply #4 - Oct 1^st, 2007 at 4:03pm The second fix worked perfectly, thank you. I actually did update the BIOS after the restore in an attempt to fix the constant Blue Screens from vista not being able to control the fans properly.

	Re: Cannot See Drive Reply #5 - Oct 1^st, 2007 at 4:07pm That's great. But what was the fix? A new BIOS or a new CD?
