Ghost 9 and Firewire HDs

Hi,

I recently bought Ghost 9.0 since it advertises Firewire HD support. Well, I just created an image to the Firewire drive, however, am not sure how to restore this in DOS???

The guides say that the CD can boot into Ghost once I restart my comp, however, that doesn't happen. I have a bootable CDROM since I just installed from factory provided CDs for my laptop.

Ghost doesn't start up and my comp goes into WinXP Pro SP2. I have even checked the BIOS settings and made sure that the CD was the first in boot-up sequence.

So what gives? I can't test out Ghost 9.0's claim of firewire support fully. I would hate to not be able to get into Windows and be stuck.

Any thoughts?

I have a Sony Vaio with WinXP SP2. NTFS partitions on main HD. Firewire has NTFS and FAT32 partitions.

Thanx

Click to expand...

Open Ghost in Windows, and locate the Ghost Boot Disk Wizard. Follow the steps to make a bootable floppy disk, and try booting Ghost with that.

It's not an ideal solution, but it'll work.
 
Thanx for the tips so far.

I can't locate the Ghost boot wizard anywhere. I think this GHost 9 has gotten rid of a lot of good functionality.

When I read forums, everyone says there is a tiny Ghost.exe program that one can put on a bootable CD(like Bart-PE) and run. On Ghost 2003 and 2002 atleast. However, on Ghost 9 CD or the install, there is no Ghost.exe anymore.

The program itself doesn't offer a way to create the bootable CD..all it says in help is: Put the CD in and it will boot up. That's the troubleshooting they give. Even the knowledgebase offers the exact same solution!!!!

When I start the comp with another bootable CD like BartPE, the computer goes straight to that CD. I typically don't have an option to start from C drive if there is a bootable CD.

Any other help?? Can I incorporate this in BartPE somehow??

THanx
