Bootable Ghost 2003 CD with USB support . . .

[dgsg]

The only options I am offered is to make bootable floppies. A while back someone posted how to do it and I have searched and came up with nothing. Trying to get setup so that I can Ghost a image to my new WD My Book 500GB external drive and restore from it also.

I haven't used Ghost 2003 for a couple of years now. I do remember that using USB drives with Ghost can be problematic. It's not that it can't be done. It can. But there are some potential hangups.

I remember issues with systems that contain both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices. Using an internally-attached hard drive, or using a networked shared drive (even a shared USB drive attached to ANOTHER PC across the network) avoided the Ghost USB driver issues.

check out the forums on www.radified.com , they have Ghost 2003 experts over there that can give you info in much more detail. I built a CD using a 2.88MB boot floppy image, containing Ghost 2003, and nearly every driver I could think of, for IDE / SATA / SCSI, as well as external USB HDs and CDs.
