Ghost 2003 on NF7-S ver. 2

[Sheldon Roger]

Am using two a Raid 0 setup with two Serillel adapters which works well. Have noted that Ghost backups runs much slower than on a previous MB with a Highpoint controller. Creating images is slow on full DOS and more so when Ghost is run under Win XP. Had to substitute MSDOS as couldn't run with PCDOS. Ghost is upgraded with the latest aspiehci files as I write to a USB external drive.

My Silicon BIOS is 4.2.12.

Any suggestions for speeding up the process?

Go into the bios and find the IDE controller set up and select IDE Bus Master "enabled". I think it's on the PCI devices page.

Thanks for the reply. No change with Bus Master Enabled. Am using the Win XP IDE controller because my tape drive dislikes the Nvidia driver. Will try the NV.
