Hi thanks for reply everyone, Riz, they are actually 2 SATA harddrives, I've read in couple of site that the reason ghost doesn't create the image could be because of the fact that they are SATA and not because of the raid 0 factor !! I've also read that if I used ghost -NOIDE would work but it didn't Were you able to create an image of your 2 SATA drives and how? can you please explain what you mean by "depends on the hd controller" albator, I am using a bootable cd from DOS then I load ghost.exe 8.2 Frechdax3000, I have WinPE, when I loaded it, it didn't actually recognize the SATA drives, which version of WinPE are you using. I would still prefer to do it using Ghost 8.2 From Dos, there just has to be a way, I mean I already have an ghost image the came with the laptop to prove it. Thanks
