Thank you all, will try, especially, that SysAngel DVD app. Augi, about a ghosting app, the ghost I have, remember, the Symantec, is 688kb and in the old days, I installed many a XP with it. The reason it doesn't work with my drives must be because of my configuration.
It's complicated, BIOS/CMOS themselves have changed over the last two years and DOS simply doesn't even know what SATA is. My HDD's dont even have jump pins in them, I rigged my computer over a good butt numbing 5 hours such that all I do now is just stick HDD in them and they work. It might probably work if your ghosting from IDE HD to IDE HD, not so much with SATA, RAID and SCSI. (or sometimes NTFS file format, sucks eh???)
Hey, wait a minute, I think I have something..............
I hope
Avira works.
Even though I doubt it will, trial and error, (exactly in that order) has made me a better teacher. Will get back to you.
