Norton Ghost

[WWII]

Does anybody know if Norton Ghost 2003 supports imaging a SATA Raid 0 array
to an IDE hard drive? OS is XP Pro, Chipset is Intel 875P.

Thanks.

Maximum PC magazine (May 2004) has an article about "cloning" hard drives.
They only got a SATA stand-alone drive correctly with Drive Image 2002.
Norton did say that Ghost 2003 should work, but Maximum PC never succeeded.

These people will know.

I believe it is possible with Ghost 2003 Build "2003.793"

The last I check with the Symantec support site, GHOST 2003 does not
"officially" support RAID nor SATA.

Unofficially, GHOST 2002 and 2003 often do work with hardware RAID and some
SATA.

I have Seagate SATA drives on an ASUS P4S8X motherboard (Promise RAID/SATA
controller). GHOST works fine on these disks, BUT ONLY WHEN RUN FROM A DOS
FLOPPY. GHOST 2003 does not work at all if I try to run it from the XP
Desktop interface that uses a virtual parition.

If you want backup software that does work (save) from within windows, try
Acronis True Image. It will also restore from within windows, except for
the system partition, where you need to use either a set of floppy disks, or
more convneintly a bootable CD, both of which it will make for you. True
Image also saves to and recovers from USB and firewire devices, including
external hard drives. It does this both from within windows and from the
bootable media it makes for you. http://www.acronis.com/
