Alright all you smart folks out there, here's the one that i've actually gotten a few new grey hairs about. USING: Steps and techniques as provided by Shadow in his post regarding the creation of a bootable USB Thumbdrive/Pendrive/Whateveryouwanttocallit drive, XMSDSK to create a ramdrive labeled R:, mouse.com, and a slight variation of some nifty batch files (mainly for copying dos programs into the ramdrive and running from there), and appropriate dos based USB drivers. I have created a bootable USB stick.

HOWEVER: when I start the computer and have it boot from said pen drive, it hangs when loading the usbaspi.sys. I have tried several different combinations of command switches (/e /o /u) and nothing seems to work. The specific error is 'driver constant in memory' and then it just hangs and never pushes forward from there. Nuptk Kabupaten Malang 2011 Travel here.

ALSO: Using ghost 11.5, is it somehow able to see/use external usb HDDs without above mentioned usb drivers? I'm so confused. I'm used to using Ghost 8.0 (Ghost32) from within a BartPE disk and i'm just trying to improve the process while keeping it as simple as possible. Your input is encouraged and welcomed, thanks in advance. Since there is no such product as Ghost 11.5; what Symantec product do you have? There is more than one corporate product which includes the Ghost cloning tools now. Well, it's funny you should say that there is no such product as Ghost 11.5 because that's exactly what my ghost screen in dos is showing me.

Maybe i'm just wrong, but my eyes are deceiving me. Funny, when i'm in DOS and I run the Ghost /ver it even shows Symantec Ghost 11.5.0 build 2113.April 22 2009, so I'm assuming from what you're saying, that's not the product is it? But it IS a fully functional ghost.hmmmmmm. To further answer your question, I don't 'have' a Symantec product, if you're referring to something like Norton Ghost 9, yes I have that, but i'm using Ghost 11.5 which you say doesn't exist for whatever reason. I'm old school, I don't use any of the newer symantec ghosting software/suites. Let me know if I can provide you with any more information on the product that I don't have but seem to be running.
