Ghost 9 - Nice

Recommended Posts

Being a fan of PowerQuest DriveImage 7, I was eager to see how Ghost 9 was, as symantec bought powerquest and integrated the drive image technology into Ghost.

Well its very much the same, with a few bells and whistles.. The recovery mode, ala Symantec Recovery CD based on WinPE, I was suprised to find the following drivers pre-built onto the CD.

a320raid="Adaptec HostRAID U320 Driver Ver 1.02 For Windows 2000/XP/2003"

adpu320="Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI Cards (Win XP/Server 2003 IA-32)"

mraid2k="DELL PERC 3/4 RAID Driver for Windows 2000"

lpxnds="Emulex LightPulse PCI Fibre Channel HBA"

hpt3xx="HighPoint HPT3xx ATA RAID Controller (WinXP/2003)"

iaStor="Intel® 82801ER SATA RAID Controller"

fasttx2k="WinXP Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"

Fasttrak="WinXP Promise SBFastTrak133/MBFastTrak133 Lite Controller"

fasttr33="WinXP Promise FastTrak33/66/100 and TX2000 Controllers"

fastsx="WinXP Promise FastTrak S150 SX4/SX4000 Series"

fasttx2="WinXP Promise FastTrak S150 TX2 Controller"

fasttx4k="WinXP Promise FastTrak TX4000/S150 TX Series Controller"

UlSata="WinXP Promise SATA378 Controller"

ql2300="QLogic QLA23XX PCI Fibre Channel Adapter"

Si3114r="Silicon Image SiI 3114 SATARaid Controller for Windows XP/Server 2003"

viaraid="VIA RAID Controller(Windows XP)"

viapdsk="VIA ATA/ATAPI Host Controller"

viasraid="VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller (Windows XP)"

vmscsi="VMware SCSI Controller"

tffsport="M-Systems Flash Disk Adapter"

which is a big improvement over DriveImage's pathetic attempt.

I added my own and re-created the Ghost 9 ISO.. works a treat, (which was for the Highpoint RocketRaid 1542, which is based on the 374 Chipset)... The hpt3xxx one bundled with Ghost, caused problems, so I thought I use the latest one.

according to the box.. Yes 256mb min

Can you post the TXTSETUP.SIF from it?

Things have changed.

There is a big problem with Ghost 9.0 with you have a Highpoint 374 controller.. as the hpt3xxx.sys driver built into Ghost 9.0

1. does not work with the 374

2. makes the 374 drivers (pushing F6 at start).. causes Ghost 9.0 not to start properly and you get a message about the engine not being initialised

So I fixed it by doing the following

1. I remove every trace of the hpt3xx.sys, hpt3xx.inf from the filesystem, rebuilt the ISO and tested it... wow it works.. Part 2 is to integrate the 374 drivers into it, now that nasty hpt3xx.sys has gone.

Please don't post such INCREDIBLY LARGE amounts of text in a post. If you have to post it, then either use the [code ] tags (for smaller amounts of text) or attach it as a zipped file. But always its better to host the same file elsewhere and link to it instead, so we can download it and view it. Currently, the post is too large for anyone to be able to sanely look at it. Please look at the rules and follow some general consensual guidelines while posting. Hoping you'd understand - I don't mean to be impolite.....

Will you please come back and edit the post to remove the txtsetup.sif contents and attach it instead? If you don't do so quickly, a moderator might need to come along and do it.

EDIT:

OW, xper already saw this thread before me, before I replied. Already said what I wanted to say.... So it means I didn't type and reply fast enough, LOL.
