how to add Dell SCSI Raid driver into WinPE CD boot version of Ghost

    I am rather new to the Ghost system.

    In order to replace current disk system in RAID 1 on a Dell PowerEdge with higher capacity driver, I want to take an image of the current content and place it on the higher capacity drives using Ghost. I understand I must use Ghost32 on WinPE to get this done. Also I need to add the right Dell drivers for the PERC controller to WinPE to allow WinPE/Ghost it to recognise the drive system.

    Adding all files from the driver diskette to the Ghost/WinPE does not work.

    So how must I proceed in order to get the right drivers loaded at boot time of the Ghost/WinPe bootable CD and allow Ghost to see the drive system (Disks & partitions)

    NB:  Before buying the whole suite, I am playing with the Trail version. If I get this working,I am all in to buy the stuff

    you can also use a dos based boot disk, it works just fine and you dont have to mess with the drivers.  If you want to use PE heres the document on how to update the drivers

    what your doing is very straight forward.  extract an image, change your raid and image it back.
