I have Ghost 2003. Its worked fine.
I have the new computer.
The extra hard drives I have are external, and they are connect via USB.
When you go into explorer to look at the drives, I have drives C through L.
C, K, and L are my hard drives. One internal, two external.
Here is the dilemma: when I try to Ghost the new computer, I tell it to back up to "K" the exeternal Maxtor USB drive connected directly to the back of the computer. I have it recognize and install USB drivers when it does its configuration, and it assigns a drive letter.
But - since the "other" drives "disappear" because they are smart cards, etc. the "K" drive becomes the "E" drive in PC DOS mode and I can't for the life of me figure out to tell the computer that the Maxtor Drive is really the "K" drive.
Does that make sense to you?
Because the drive letters shift in a shutdown, the maxtor drive is no longer the K drive and the Ghost program freezes at PC DOS interface because it cannot locate the drive "K" to backup to.
Thoughts to remedy this?
I'm going to install a spare internal drive and I know that would fix it, but realistically, I'd rather use the USB external drive.
