Ghost does not speak to a Samsung disk
Hello everybody,
Yesterday I asked this question on the hardware newsgroup, but as this one is more focused on storage questions, even if my hardware is not of mark IBM, I eventually wonder whether it would not be more appropriate ... I recently bought a new disk (a Samsung one, 400 GB), that I inserted into an inclusion box, to connect it to an USB port on my Toshiba laptop. It was nicely recognized in Windows XP, after I initiated and formated it. Now, I should like to save the image of my internal disk to it, with Ghost 2003. Once in PCDOS, the disk is recognized when launching its driver in the CONFIG.SYS, USBEHCI.SYS (and the model of the disk is displayed), but after that, the usual procedure is to assign a drive letter, with the GUEST command. At this level, things get wrong. The driver displays "Finding a drive letter for your unit" (I quote it from memory), but after that, I have time to go to the grocer's without running and come back, and the same message is still displayed, no drive letter is assigned, the control is not given back to the user. Usually, Ghost runs nice to other disks. Do you think I have to wait a longer time ? For the formatting I had a problem because I did not wait enough, but I have got some difficulties to believe the same time is needed to assign a drive letter, I tend to think something else must be done. Any idea what ? |

Any idea what ? You might like to try a different EHCI and HD driver, if only for diagnostic purposes.
