I have two SCSI Internal CD-ROM/CD-RW Drives installed in my System as well as two External USB-2 Mass Storage Devices. What is the recommented start-up files configuration for making a DOS Bootable Diskette in order to be able to use Norton Ghost for making image files for my Hard Disks. Please note that Usbaspi.sys and Di1000dd.sys drives seem to work quite well, however not all of the above mentioned Devices are always seen during boot-up.
