| 535962 | 2007-03-26 07:09:00 | Thought it was about time I tried a SATA drive for my next HD. What success are people having using Ghost 2003 with SATA drives these days? Just creating an image and restoring it, no RAID complications. I've looked around on the Web, and experiences seem to be mixed. Seems essential to work from DOS, which I always have anyway, but some motherboards/chipsets give problems? |

| 535965 | 2007-03-26 11:07:00 | That all sounds like good news. Acronis could be a step up though, and I think it runs on a Linux base instead of DOS, so that must be a plus. | rumpty (2863) | ||
| 535966 | 2007-03-26 21:12:00 | I've only used Ghost on external USB drives but I had to set up Ghost boot / restore disk to recognize the USB. I assume you will have to do the same with SATA?? | paulw (1826) | ||

As trig42 says, all modern motherboards support sata now. I have ghosted IDE, sata both off the cables and via my USB adapter. All I do is boot with a Win95 boot disk, no drivers, nothing, and then launch Ghost. You don't need drivers. |
