Boot disk for Symantic Ghost and CDRW 9310i

[Rick Marmei]

Hello

I am trying to get a drive to register in Symantic Ghost 2000. I am making a dos bootable disk and am running win 98. (iwill be upgrading to Win2000 soon).

The drive's don't register in dos mode. I know I have to load a driver but I don't know which one or where to load it from. If any one could help me that would be Great.

Thanks
Rick Marmei

From your question, it's not clear which drive (s) you are referring.

For your hard drives:
If the drives are large and not recognized by your BIOS at bootup, then you will need to load a driver (in the Config.Sys and/or the Autoexec.Bat files) from the drive's manufacturer. If you no longer have the DOS driver disk that may or may not have come with the drive, then try and visit their web site to download the proper driver along with instructions.

For your HP 9310i:
All you should need to do here, is load the proper CD-Rom driver. If you received HP Simple Backup with the drive, the driver should be present on the recovery boot disks that you can generate. An alternative would be to search the internet for the CDGod utility which can help you find a driver that works.

Once you have a driver loaded, Ghost should recognize the drive. If it doesn't then you may need to update your version of Ghost or contact Symantec to see if they have an update for the latest CD-RW writers.

Hopefully, one of the scenarios above will help.
