Question : Ghost 2003 won't work with SATA CDROM

Ghost 2003 will display error 52105 (No CD/DVD in drive) if I use it with a PC with SATA CDROMs (and drives) when trying to create an image of a drive to DVD.

Is there a way around this?

If not will Ghost 14 include an updated version of the DOS based Ghost?

Thanks

Answer : Ghost 2003 won't work with SATA CDROM

Ghost is compatible with the new Serial ATA (SATA) standard.

If you are experiencing problems like Ghost hanging, locking up, or freezing when loading or while "initializing TCP/IP" once Ghost loads, the problem lies with the interrupt handling for the Intel 865 Chipsets and later. Upgrading to the latest version of Norton Ghost 2003 or Symantec Ghost 8.x resolves the problem. Also, see the Technical Information section below for information about an update to Symantec Ghost 7.5.

Workaround
Depending upon the mix of SATA and IDE drives installed to your system, one of the following switches should resolve the problem:

    * If you have an IDE and an SATA drive, or only IDE drives:
      -FNI Forces Ghost to use the BIOS to gain access to the IDE drive.
    * If you have an SATA drive and no IDE drives:
      -NOIDE Disables access to IDE devices.


For more information on the -FNI and -NOIDE switches, read the document Switches: Alphabetical list of switches.

Ghost 14 only does backups from within Windows I believe.


I hope this helps !
