Symantec Ghost (corp) & SATA HDDs

[Atomic]

Any ideas if you can use ghost corp. v7.5 with SATA harddrives?

Had a look around and its been mentioned that there is a patch, is this true as I cant seem to find it or are we gonna have to upgrade to v8?

I've used V7.5 before - You can use it no problems, without any patches or anything.

Just fire in the Win95 boot floppy and away you go.

This was tested with v7.5 & IDE RAID -> SATA and SATA -> IDE.

It should... What are you using as the RAID controller?

silicon image...

[Captain Fizz]

Odd... I've not ghosted using RAID on the Silicon Image controller - But have done to/from SATA (Silicon Image), and to/from an IDE RAID Array - Both with no problems whatsoever.

And this was from a Win95/98 boot floppy and using the ghost.exe or by using the GUI?
(Hate the GUI... Used it once, never again!)

Those of us struggling with Ghost 9's refusal to find SATA drives during recovery may need this info: Ghost 9 has MINIMAL coded SATA controller support, and does NOT include drivers for the most common Intel SATA controller.

FIX: Copy your Windows/Drivers/Raid Driver folder contents to floppy, the only medium Ghost will accept outside drivers from.

Boot using the Recovery/original Ghost CD, hit F6 when you're asked if you have a custom driver. Insert the floppy, ignore Ghost's bogus claim that it knows about your controller, hit return. When the boot completes, your drives are present for duty.
