I tried to create backup image of my computer without success using Ghost
2003 and looking forward to any assistance from experienced members.
Hardware in use:-
1. Toshiba R150 NB
2. USB 1.1 bootable floppy drive
3. HP 8100 IDE CD Writer Plus + USB 2.0/1.1 to IDE adapter
Software in use:-
1. Standard bootable floppy disk created by Ghost 2003
Options selected: USB support - UHCI driver, assign DOS floppy
driver name and PC DOS
When I boot the disk, it ran smoothly and opened Ghost successfully.
However, when I selected Local->Disk->To Image and select local source
drive. In the Look in, there is only A: Local drive and the CD Writer did
not show up. Can someone advise the possible causes and fixes so I can go
forward.
I note that after I quitted Ghost, I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del the system
rebooted to the CD Writer if I removed the bootable disk from the floppy
drive. It seems the CD Writer was successfully connected but just did not
appear.
Thanks,
Ray |

Toshiba R250 NB. NB stands for notebook? So, what are you plugging in
to? A PCMCIA card?
You should get a message during the floppy boot, during USB drivers
launch, saying that the adapter was found, followed by the drive was
found. If you didn't get these, then it isn't seeing your USB port
and/or drive.

Did you get the messages saying the port and drive were recognized as
the drivers booted up?

Irwin,
Yes, NB stands for notebook computer. I plugged the writer into one of USB
ports.
Is there any fix to see the USB writer?
Thanks,

There is no such driver. Nor do "real" USB CD drives exist.
You need a USB ASPI driver and a bridge board with
atapi support.
There is aspiehci.sys, dated 2002-09. I thought it came with Ghost 8.
