Ok I have Ghost 2003, I think the last verison with DOS executable Ghost.exe, sorry, old habits die hard, it's the only way I know and like it, floppy too baby:):p

Anyway I'm such a noobie, Not too familiar with SATA but with all the new boards supporting NCQ and higher speeds in general than PATA I'm about to make an all SATA move in my X2 box and was wondering 1) how I'd ghost a SATA drive? 2) How I'd ghost SATA RAID 0 config?

I have a Dell 8300 with 2 SATA drives and Ghost works fine. I use a bootable CD because I hate floppies. I'm using Ghost 8.2. I would imagine RAID 0 would just require that you back up and restore both drives/partitions at the same time. You would probably need a drive to store the image if the RAID was your only available storage. I've never done it so I can't be sure.

thanks...I always keep a ghost images, file backup drive.. I love ghost use it like once a month when things get hairy. Not a real problem since I have 4 or 5 images and keep "my documents" on a D drive.

Ghosting RAID 0 anyone?

This is all I could find in the Norton KB:
Supported RAID levels

Situation:
This document describes the RAID levels that are supported by the following products:
- Norton Ghost 9.0
- Norton PartitionMagic
- PartitionMagic
- PartitionMagic Pro
- Drive Image
- Drive Image Pro
- EasyRestore
- DriveCopy
- ServerMagic
- VolumeManager
- DataGone
- DeployCenter

Solution:
Only hardware RAID levels 0 (stripe sets) and 5 (stripe sets with parity) are supported. For further information about RAID levels, please read Description of commonly used RAID levels.

If you google Ghost and RAID 0, you'll get some hits.
