Ghost & IRRT

[Mordac85]

Just got my new Dell M4400 and E6400 in and had a problem running Ghost 11 (Solution Suite 2.0). I was trying to make an 'as rcvd' image and Ghost would hang once it needed to enumerate the drives from the ToImage menu selection. I checked the BIOS and found the SATA Operation set to IRRT which was new to me. So I changed this to ATA mode and no problems. Haven't tried it w/AHCI but expect it to run just fine.

Has anyone else come across IRRT issues with Ghost yet or if this will be some major headache in the future?

The thing that gets me is that it's some kind of mirroring utility for a system w/at least 2 drives per this page, but that really doesn't make much sense to have on a laptop w/only 1 drive installed by default. Dell seems to be doing some weird s**t.
