However, in doing so, this canbypass the RAID enhancements that are provided by the system BIOS. The systemBIOS understands the underlying disk and RAID array structures and formats. Inorder to properly use Ghost to interact with a RAID volume, the user should ensurethat the tool is operating in a mode where it does not talk directly to the hardwareresources, but rather communicates using the system BIOS.SolutionIn order to use Ghost in a RAID volume, the user must:1.
