Ghost on RAID & NTFS?

May be the wrong forum. but I want to try Ghost on my RAID O array (WIn XP Pro on NTFS) and write an image to a third PATA drive. Is this possible? I think I read where older Ghost does not handle NTFS. I've got GHost from Systemworks2002Pro. Maybe it can read NTFS, but not write with this version? (I hope)

    I'm pretty sure the 2002 version of ghost supports NTFS.

    However, when you boot off your bootable media, you must have RAID drivers installed. So if ghost is booting out of DOS, you'll need DOS drivers for your RAID card for the drives to be recognized as an array.

    Atleast in v2003, when you create a bootdisk, you have the option to add drivers for printers, usb and scsi. I guess you scsi would also be raid.

    depending on what type of raid he is running, a bunch of them need no DOS drivers to be recognized. They would run faster with raid drivers. But the older HPT's for instance could be seen in DOS with no driver.

    My Intel and the 2 SI controllers I Have all work fine under DOS with just the bios enabled (the bios is the int13 DOS driver by the way, same as SCSI). I copy things back and forth all the time with ghost on my IC7-MAX3 board.

    They are both RAID-0 at the moment, but I have done it on RAID-1's too.

    Hmm ive tryed to ghost from one raid 0 to another raid 0, and i locks up when it boots to the dos ghost window.
    i was using norton ghost from system works 2004 pro.

    ive tryed to ghost to the same drive ( drives if you will ), from a single drive ( not raid ) and that went ok, how come im not able to do it the other way ?

    My first guess would be that Norton doesn't like your RAID driver. You might get lucky if you try another driver version.

    Hmm .. i just dont think that whould be the problem. due that i was able to ghost from a single drive to my raid, and im able to boot up on it in Pc-dos. it hangs when its chking NTFS after booting up. if it was the drivers i dont think i whould be able to boot up.
