SATA hard drives How to use the Ghost explanation _ Application Tips

Before a lot of friends asked the SATA hard drive can use Ghost, in the use of ghost to the system to do backup, may have encountered this situation,
With floppy disk or CD-ROM boot into the system, when the use of GHOST.EXE command System black screen, crashed. Is ghost not supported SATA devices?
Can't we make a backup of the system after we use SATA drives? The answer is, SATA drives can also be used to clone, but in the operation
Need a little bit of skill.
First, let's analyze why the system crashes in general. Generally, the SATA hard drive board is supported by I865pe (North Bridge)
+ICH5R (South Bridge) chipset, but due to the limitations of the ich5r bridge chip itself, in the Win9x,winnt,dos system, where a set of IDE channels
Will not work, which is why the system stops responding when we start ghost, because at this point the ghost cannot determine which group of Ides are available in the system.
After knowing the reason, we can prescribe the right medicine. The BIOS for a typical 865 motherboard provides an option to block a set of IDE channels so that the system is only
Two sets of IDE channels, I press ASUS
P4P800 motherboard for an example to explain how to do this: (All of the following methods are CD-ROM boot mode)
1,
A SATA hard drive hangs on the SATA1 interface, and a CDROM hangs on the primary IDE interface (set as primary):
A
Boot into BIOS setting, select IDE Configuration in main Menu
b) will onboard IDE Operate
Mode change to compatible mode
(c) In [Enhanced Mode Support on] SELECT [Primary
P-ata+s-ata]
D after rebooting into the BIOS, you will find that there are only 4 IDE devices in the main menu, [Primary IDE
MASTER] is [CDROM],
[Primary IDE Slave] is [None],[secondary IDE Master] for [IDE
Disk] (the model number of your hard drive),
[[Secondary IDE Slave] is [NONE]
E
Use CD to boot into DOS, run ghost on it
2, a SATA hard disk hanging in the SATA1 interface, a CDROM hanging in the secondary
IDE Interface:
Simply change [Primary P-ata+s-ata] in the third step above to [secondary
P-ata+s-ata], it's OK, and the system will
SATA1 and SATA2 devices as [Primary IDE Master] and [Primary IDE
Slave].
3,
If you are using a SATA-enabled motherboard but are not using a SATA device, some motherboard BIOS still has the SATA channel turned on by default.
The use of ghost to back up the system will also result in a black screen, so we also need to set up in the BIOS to screen out the SATA channel,
Or in the first case, in the third step, [Primary
P-ata+s-ata] changed to [P-ata Ports
Only], at this time the system will shield off the SATA devices,
You can use it as an ordinary motherboard without a SATA device.
The above is my use of SATA equipment and ghost Some of the small experience of the summary, I hope to be useful.
Other types of motherboards are the same setting, but the options are not ASUS Rich.
