720255 2008-11-14 19:18:00 Anyone out there having problem with SATA HDDs when using Ghost 2003? Ghost 2003 works great with IDE HDDs but just doesn't work with SATA HDDs; always stuck just before the backup process and could not even return to Windows. bk T (215)
720256 2008-11-14 19:57:00 By the looks of it, it doesnt support SATA (community.norton.com)

You'll have to get a later version

720258 2008-11-15 07:02:00 Acronis 11 does SATA as I guess the new version will too. don't know if older versions will though gary67 (56)
720259 2008-11-15 08:39:00 Not directly relevant, but Ghost 2002 on DOS boot CD works with SATA drives with no problems. Terry Porritt (14)

Have tried all configurations available. It loads Ghost for DOS OK but stuck before it starts to perform the backing up and I could not return to Windows. I think it doesn't recognise SATA HDDs.

720262 2008-11-15 23:43:00 Are you running it from within windows or from a live CD, as I run Acronis live most of the time as it's seems to run quicker and more stable than from within windows when I make an image or am doing a HDD clone gary67 (56)

You aren't supposed to run it from within Windows.
You boot off something then run Ghost.

Is there anything mentioned in the manual that we aren't supposed to run it from within Windows? I have been running it from Windows (IDE HDDs) to create backup images without any problem. Only SATA HDDs that have problems.

Maybe I should try to boot off to DOS and run it.
