I just tried this and it worked perfectly. Me: Toshiba Portege Tablet 2. When it didn't work, I thought I was forced to upgrade. Glad I found you're info.

NightOwl, thank you for the reply and sorry for the delay, I can post only at office. Your statement above suggests the opposite experience--I'm not sure why we are reporting two completely different results!
Have you tried that combination--results? Re: Ghost and external disk Reply 3 - Nov 8 th , at am. Yes and invariably get the "overflow error" loading the D aspi driver any ideas about this error?
Please could you confirm that, should the dos drivers work, the NTFS format of the disk is not a problem? Otherwise, my efforts are useless! My Thinkpad is this one , bios version is 1. I have both "bios support" and "always on USB" enabled. Re: Ghost and external disk Reply 4 - Nov 8 th , at am.
I doubt it will make a difference, but I used Panasonic v2. But, you never know!!! For testing purposes, you could try adding a small test partition to the USB HDD can be done without loosing other partition data if you use PartitionMagic! So, you are able to put a small Ghost image on a flash drive, do an image integrity check, and restore that image--all on the system where the external USB HDD will not work?! That would tend to point the finger at the external HDD compatibility!!! It's not uncommon for folks to have a particular external HDD brand not work--and another does!

Indeed the drivers included are mostly those provided by Ghost, which I already tried BTW if someone more naive than me is reading, remember: sometimes the same driver must be loaded more than once for being installed; for example for me this happens with aspiehci. Therefore I tried "disable" but the internal HDs were of course undetected by Ghost.
Then I selected "compatible", the name sounded promising and the disk flashed as being accessed when Ghost started with complete usb bios support enabled , but Freezes or overflow error. And it is a NTFS disk! Well, I started to look at my Lacie with suspect. Then I read something curious on the product box: " built-in raid 0 for extreme firewire speed: no configuration"!
Indeed there should be two disk in the case which work in raid 0. I wrote to Lacie asking for help, but I imagine the reply: "we told you before: dos is not supported". I think I'm at a dead end but if somebody has a different idea
