[H] ghost 12 ?
Because my version of ghost has problems not seeing SOME SATA conttrollers I installed 12. Other then from windows I see no way to make a boot able cd from which to clone drives ? What am I missing ? fp thanks -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Windows Error 025: Windows 95 has detected a random error. This error occurs every once in a while. Please wait.
Re: [H] ghost 12 ?
It won't let you clone the drive from within windows? I did one last night with Acronis, even though it was a bit squirrelly to get the drive to finally boot. Still not sure what I did to get it working. Probably didn't let Acronis confirm or finish the process all the way.

Re: [H] ghost 12 ?
yes from windows no problem even though it did not let me clone both partitions at once. I figure if I pre partitioned the drive it would let me do them one at a time but the extra partition on C is basically a temp drive and I have it backed up elsewhere. I need a cd I can boot to for updating drives in customer boxes. Acronis true image works but is slow, at least the time I have used it. Took 7 hours to clone this drive that ghost took less then a hour. Must be a way to make what they might call a recovery disk but at this point I suspect collusion. :-D What I do not understand is why my dos based ghost sees some sata controllers and not others. Understand not seeing raid but raid is disabled. Works on my newer MB no problem. (ghost8) fp At 07:37 AM 10/1/2007, Anthony Q.

Re: [H] ghost 12 ?
What chipset do you have that provides the SATA ports? Is it the same across the various mobo? My mobo has two SATA controllers, one is a Gigabyte controller and the other is a ICHR9 (p35 chipset). Perhaps Ghost has problems with certain controllers. Just a guess, though. FORC5 wrote: yes from windows no problem even though it did not let me clone both partitions at once.

Re: [H] ghost 12 ?
my guess too, the MB it has problem with has a silicon image raid but the drives were not on the raid controller but the onboard sata ide headers. Meant to put them on the raid controller and see if it sees them there ( still may test this when I get a chance ) fp At 08:39 AM 10/1/2007, Anthony Q.

Re: [H] ghost 12 ?
If a mainboard isn't a native SATA controller (Intel, nVidia, SIS, etc.) most boards seem to utilize jmicron or silicon image chipsets. So, far I haven't had any problem using Ghost 7.5 on any SATA drives but I may have just been lucky. Be sure to go in the BIOS/CMOS Setup menu and see if you can change the mode that the Serial ATA controller is in. You should be able to toggle through at least two or three modes with names such as IDE, SATA, AHCI, RAID, Enhanced. 'IDE' is normally what you would need to set it on but try the other modes as well. -Tharin O.
