Ghost 2003 on Dell Latitude 630 & newer
Nov 2nd, 2009 at 7:47am  
I've been using Ghost 2003 configured on a bootable CD using PCDOS and the output image going to an external USB mass storage device (hard drive) for years.  I have been able to perform images from Dell notebooks Latitude D600 and D620 by configuring the BIOS.  It appears now that I have "upgraded" to Dell Latitude 630 & beyond I can no longer get ghost to recognize the external USB mass storage device by configuring the BIOS.  I suspect it has something to do with how the USB hub/subsystem is configured initially by the BIOS since I was able to get previous Latitude notebooks to work by BIOS reconfiguration, however I don't know what to do or try anymore.  Any ideas?  Thanks, e-terry Undecided

What *reconfiguration* of the BIOS was needed to make things work?

How did you create the bootable CD?  Build it from scratch--or create a bootable floppy disk first and then use an *authoring* optical disc program (such as Roxio or Nero) to create the bootable optical disc?

Did you use the Ghost DOS USB drive drivers included with Ghost 2003--or was the BIOS of the above Dell systems taking care of mounting and making available for DOS to assign a DOS drive letter to the external USB drives in DOS?
