    Hi,

    From what you say, it seems you are having a problem with your imaging environment. loading?  Do you know if you are booting DOS, Linux or WinPE? I suspect Linux...

    DS6.8 is fairly old now, and I would certainly suggest an upgrade to 6.9SP2. This has much better automation hardware support in Linux and WinPE.

    Kind Regards,
    Ian./

    I believe this is a known problem for that model. Unfortunately I don't know the resolution besides switching to WinPE or Linux. You will probably need to add some MSD support if you switch to to either of those.  I'd talk to Symantec support for more information.
