Comment: Hello Gurus!!
I have a Symantec Ghost™ Corporate Edition 7.5 and AMACOM USB external Hard Drive Flip2Disk.I have downloaded the DOS driver for my Filp2Disk drive from AMACOM webside.
I have added follwoing command in my
config.sys DEVICE=a:\USBDOS\DUSE.EXE VERBOSE=2 WAIT=10 DRIVES=1 MEMPOOL=32 XFERSIZE=4 NOCD When I boot my PC using Ghost boot floppy and it say that my Flip2Disk has been detected and has been mounted,but in side Ghost I cant see this Flip2Drive.Can any body explain me what is wrong. Do I have to choose right option for DUSE.EXE or inside Ghost I have to select correct option????Whats wrong here ? Flip2Disk link is:-->

Reply: (edit)Ok this problem solved..!! The reason : On Win 2K syetsm with FAT32 Filesystem the exteral Flip2Disk is detected only if it is also formatted with FAT32, not NTFS. Opposite ,a FAT32 Formatted Flip2Disk drive will be detected both on FAT32 (Win 2K)based file systems as well as on NTFS (Win XP )based file systems.Here is a catch;) that
on FAT32 based systems the drive letter of the USB external drive will be shown explicitely (i.e. " E: Flip2Disk drive") while on a NTFS based systems the drive letter actually get exchanged with the local main hard disk drive letter C:!!. -Cheers :)
