Ghost walk through

Hi:
Does any one have a step by step walk through for ghosting a
system. I tried
to image a system yesterday and was not able to. I  tried
using a boot cd
and I was able to get through all the steps but I was not
able to get it to
see my USB hard drive to put the image on. Then I tried to
use the server
and get the image over the net work and could not understand
the interface
for the network version. 
The cd version seemed to have a vary strait forward
interface but of course
I need help using it as I would not be able to use speech 
wile running off
the cd. It is a catch 22 if I have ever seen one. Thanks for
any help any
one can give.

Lucia,

It would help a lot to know which version of Ghost you are
using. The 
most recent versions should have built-in USB support.
Otherwise you 
need a CD that boots DOS and adds CD-ROM and USB drivers.
Once you 
have started the system with that you can switch to the CD
with Ghost, 
or run the program off the USB drive.

I can duplicate the CD I use for just this purpose if you
like. We 
still have some systems that will not boot from an external
USB drive.

It took me a while to find a recipe that worked.

Ghost with USB can be tricky.

Many versions of Ghost will work with a USB hard drive, but
not 
through a USB hub. Unfortunately, most motherboards, and
some USB 
cards, are implemented with an internal hub. So ghost can't
work.

The Ghost subculture knows of work-arounds using Japanese
drivers, 
etc, but I don't recommend them. Buy Acronis Trueimage  for
$40 and 
live happily ever after. After installing it you can
generate a bootable CD.

That said, I still like Ghost for imaging to a local hard
drive.
