and restoring a XP boot drive:-
....current hardware arrangement:-
SATA1 80gb C:\ ...my XP boot drive
SATA 2 160gb just used for plain storage. F:\
80gb IDE hd is a master drive on IDE1 not used for anything now ...empty D:\
....finally also now have a 160gb IDE hd in an external USB case E:\
Yesterday I imaged drives C:\ and F:\ onto external USB drive E:\ (in 1gb
chunks)
If for example, I needed to restore my C:\ drive from Ghost files on E:\
e.g. boot using Norton Ghost 9.0 boot cd, will Ghost be able to see USB
drive, ...under Norton's boot cd OS ?
....or would it be better to Ghost to D:\ then copy Ghost image files to E:\
(to be kept apart form PC)
....I know that the Ghost cd OS can see its' image files on IDE hds but,
dunno if it could see the USB ext. hd, ...or SATA hds' come to that ?
e.g. Suppose that PC got stolen, and I managed to cobble together a system
box with same hardware as the nicked one,
....same question again I suppose, can Norton Ghost 9.0 boot cd OS see my ext
USB hard disk, or would it have to be taken out of the case and connected to
an IDE port ?
regards, Richard
