ghost 2003 copy ide to sata drive no workee

I am attempting with zero success to Ghost an IDE drive to a new SATA i just got. My bootable CD that I use all the time to ghost ide to ide will NOT do the job for ide to sata. it opens GHOST from dos bootup and hangs on the ghost screen with an hourglass. i have spent a few hours perusin the web and tried to insert an -FNI switch that is supposed to take care of this issue to no avail.

anybody encountered this problem before? got a fix?

thnx, bo bo bolinski :cry

 

Am I understanding you correctly, you're trying to clone/restore to one of these drives across a network? If so, your boot media has to have the correct DOS drivers for it's network card. And trust me, it can be a chore finding the right one.

It's often much easier and faster to install a hard drive into a machine to clone. I did it today, myself. I used ghost32.exe (found in the ghost program file folder) right in Windows to image two drives, and then push an image of one onto the other. Once I was done, I just put the drives back in their respective machines.
Took me maybe two hours to do it all.

This saves hunting down drivers, and time since the data doesn't need to be sent across the network.

Is that a possibility for you at all?

as MM says the best way is to clone to another HD i have done it this week with great success and the help from the above program it free too :wave

 

Ghost 2003 would hang up for me in DOS also. The problem was with using SATA. Try running with the /noide parameter, it worked for me.

ex. GHOST /noide

Good Luck!
