Thats nothing like a cockup, only fools use dos anymore.

I know of stacks or Apps that still use DOS or some form of DOS , like the
Disk diagnostic tools..



Its the only thing that is reliable...

Not when they also need support for
new hardware. There's **** all that stupid.

Complete and utter drivel. In spades when new hardware needs to be supported.

The dos drivers for what support there is for
new hardware are mostly buggy pieces of shit.

At least one ghost-like tool is using the Linux kernel. I'm sure one
reason they are is to be able to tap into the support for modern
hardware.

The product I'm familiar with is Acronis TrueImage, which boots from
the CDROM on my laptop and ASUS a7n8x-based system. It recongizes the
mobo NICS on both machines and the SATA controller on the Asus system.

I've backed up (and restored) NTFS partitions across the LAN,
including the 160GB SATA drive.
 
Are these compatible or us it another USB type cockup..

IE no DOS Support.

The latest version of Ghost 2003, Build 793 and available in LiveUpdate,
solved the problem for me. I no longer had to temporarily adjust my Intel MB
to treat the SATA drive as a PATA drive just to get Ghost to see it.
 
Some gutless ****wit desperately cowering behind
just the puerile shit thats all it can ever manage.

I think thats mad myself, because linux lags
noticeably with full support for new hardware.

The only thing that makes any sense new hardware support
wise is to use some flavor of Win. Because you can be
completely confident that there will always be support for
new hardware in Win first, because thats where the market is.

So does XP etc.

There is quite decent bootable CD support
for Win now, even if you want to roll your own.

Sure, but so does Drive Image 7 and V2i Protector, at the Win level.

The big advantage of that approach is that you must have got the
hardware supported at the Win level to be using the new hardware,
so it makes a lot more sense to use that for backup and restore too.

You're much more likely to have noticed warts with the Win
support before you need to do a crucial backup restore.

While ever you use a different OS with different drivers,
there will always be some risk of some subtle problem
that will bite you on the arse when that will be a major
hassle, after the system has died and you need the restore.

The approach Powerquest took is in
my opinion by far the best approach.
