Hey all, I have a bit of a dilemma and its compounded by some time preasure. I recently reinstalled windows xp pro with the intention of installing it to my new WD Raptor. However as I have no floppy drive; I couldnt. My work around was to install it to a partition on a PATA WD Caviar and then clone that to my Raptor. I was intending to do this with Norton Ghost 2003. However when I run the wizard for doing so, it appears to not be assigning a "Ghost Disk ID" to that drive and as a result greys out the option of cloning to my shiny new raptor. :cry:
I looked in the Disk Management section of the Computer Management Console and the drive is set up with a volume and formatted to NTFS. I can also access the drive and read/write files to it thru windows explorer. However I did notice that it is described as being a "Dynamic" drive as opposed to the "Basic" drives my two PATA WD's are. I am unsure on whether that has any relevance. Please please, does anyone know how I can get around this?
NB. I am going to a lan tommorow evening (GMT...) and it would be nice if all my prog's and games were running from the Raptor.
