This is a fix for all Ghost disks, Windows XP install disks, some certain situations of WinPE and BartPE. This is very simple fix that many people seem to forget.
I apologize all, this is not a finished article. Sections for BartPE and WinPE will be added at a later date. This Article only contains Legacy DOS Ghost startup disks
To fix it so that these programs can read SATA disks changes slightly in each setup. What is required is when you boot up your computer enter into your BIOS.
Rather this be by F12, ESC, Del, F2, or many other options that are specific only to your computer. When you boot into the BIOS locate the SATA Controller options.
It may follow under a number of names:
You want to change this option normally from SATA or ACHI to normally one of these three.
Notice it would only be one of these choices and it may be named differently.
Again this option is for people who cannot find the SATA Drivers or do not want to go through the extra work. From my experience this works in a good 95% of all scenarios.
Pikoshi,
Running Ghost32.exe in a Windows PE environment fully supports SATA drives in their native/AHCI/SATA mode. With Ghost.exe in a DOS environment, it is not always possible to image SATA drives. Sometimes adding the following command line switches will allow imaging:
-FNI -FFX -NOIDE -NOUSB
Though often, as RanGhostBoot indicated, setting the mode to Legacy/IDE/etc is necessary in PC-DOS.
