Re: P5K Premium SATA config and Ghost 2003

I do not have any problems either using Ghost 3000 on Sata and IDE drives in
the same computer.
Make sure Sata drives are turned on in BIOS.

Just setting up an upgrade motherboard (Asus P5K Premium Intel
35-Socket 775) which requires me to move away from IDE to SATA. There
is now only ONE IDE socket on the new board which I'm leaving for the
CD/DVD's, and changing over completely to SATA HD's. I have a Ghost
image of the old bootable HD which I was hoping to clone onto the new
SATA drive via either Firewire or USB. Unfortunately Ghost (2003)
cannot "see" the SATA drive.

Reading between the lines in the ASUS forum I am wondering if this may
be something to do with the way the ASUS bios is set up.

Needless to say I haven't even made it through to windows yet (XP sp2)
and I am booting to PC Dos with Ghost created floppy.

Be grateful for any ideas any onemay have.

Can any anyone help me please?
Many thanks.

I think you're wasting your time. I gave up on my copy of Ghost '03 when
I went SATA. Try to do a backup with a SATA boot drive and Ghost '03 and
you're shafted. You have to pull the HDD and mess about in another
machine as it won't boot Ghost *or* Windows.

If either of the HDDs are Seagate or Maxtor then download and use Seagate
DiskWizard. It's a cut-down version of Acronis TrueImage and it works
wonderfully. Otherwise I'd suggest getting Acronis TrueImage Home 11,
it's a brilliant programme.

I have ghost 2003 and sata drives and have no problem with backups. Asus
