USING NORTON GHOST 2003 WITH SCSI FAILURE NOTICE

by captvancouver Mar 28, 2008 5:54PM PDT

I am using windows 2000 OS AND GHOST2003. I am trying to ghost my OS drive in my recently acquired computer, which has the following specs.
Board: 775Dual-880Pro 1.00
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. P1.10 08/04/2005
2.80 gigahertz Intel Pentium D
16 kilobyte primary memory cache
1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Maxtor 6 V160E0 SCSI Disk Device (160.04 GB) -- drive 0
Standard floppy disk controller
Primary IDE Channel [Controller]
Secondary IDE Channel [Controller]
VIA Bus Master IDE Controller
VIA SATA RAID Controller
VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller
VIA USB Universal Host Controller

I always use ghost from a floppy boot, since I think it is a lot safer
in my expereince.

I tried to make a ghost floppy disk, trying both a PC dos floppy and MS dos, but neither will boot up. I get the following messages:
ASP 12 DOS. SYS INSTALLATION FAILED
ASP 14 DOS. SYS INSTALLATION FAILED
ASP 15 DOS. SYS INSTALLATION FAILED
HOST ADAPTOR AT PORT 340 FAILED DIAGNOSTIC

I have used ghost a lot before in older computers with IDE disks,but don't really think I know what I am doing here.
I never tried to ghost from a never a SCSI disk and wonder if this may be the problem.Any help much appreciated.

And what is the issue?

Dos always emitted such messages. Since you don't have a scsi drive or controller, why fix this?

As usual Bob is correct.... most are merely

messages for device drivers not loaded/installed because the applicable ASPI device or version of the device was not found. You can either ignore them or remove them from the CONFIG.SYS on the floppy.

Question is does Ghost work ? Are you using MS-DOS or PC-DOS ?

scsi error messages ghost

by captvancouver Mar 29, 2008 4:23AM PDT

I didn t know that. The issue then, I guess , is why doesn t my ghost 2003 work on my new computer. It works fine on my old computer, which is also running windows 2000.
In making a floppy disk, the ghost window allows me to choose between
having the ghost program make either a msdos floppy disk or a pcdos floppy disk. I tried both, and , in both, after a bunch of error messages as described, my floppy drive gets the hiccups, and goes into an endless grind.
(I might add, and I don t know if it is relevant, that when I tried to install the drivers , the driver cdrom disk on reboot, after I installed th drivers, gave me a message"Welcome to the Freedos program, etc. Bsically I was corralled to install the "freedos", which locked me out of my machine for awhile. I assumed it was a virus and eventually I recovered,(I don t know how), and copied the drivers files from the disk to my hardrive, and installed them from there, without running the disk from bootup).

That's more telling than your first post.

The issue of SATA support in that Ghost is the usual complaint. You can use G4U to clone the drive if you want.

THANKS BOB

I guess you have put the finger on the problem and put me on the right track. I will try to use alternative methods to clone,including the one you have mentioned.

Thanks again

It must depend ....but it's worked on every system

I've tried it on except one...and that was strictly IDE. And it worked on twp systems with with SATA HDDs.
