Serial port (SATA) hard disk using GHOST method

How does the serial hard disk use ghost? Ghost software does not have a sata hard drive, so when using ghost to install the system, there will be blue screen, black screen or even crash. Is GHOST not supporting SATA devices? Can't we make a backup of the system after using SATA hard disk?

In fact, we can use ghost to make backups for SATA hard drives, but we must work harder from the operation. Here we take the old motherboard 865 chipset motherboard as an example:

The general 865 motherboard BIOS provides an option to shield a set of IDE channels, so that the system still only recognizes two sets of IDE channels, below me Take the ASUS P4P800 motherboard as an example to explain the operation method in detail: (The following methods are all CD boot mode)

1. One SATA hard disk is hung on the SATA1 interface, and one CDROM is hung on the PRIMARY IDE interface (set as the master disk). ):

a) Boot into BIOS setup, select IDE Configuration in the MAIN menu

b) Change Onboard IDE Operate Mode to Compatible Mode

c) ,null,null,3],In the 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] is [IDE DISK] (your hard disk model), [[Secondary IDE Slave] is [NONE]

e) After booting into DOS with a CD, run GHOST.

2, a SATA hard drive is attached to the SATA1 interface, and a CDROM is attached to the SECONDARY IDE interface: just change the [Primary P-ATA+S-ATA] in the third step above to [Secondary P- ATA+S-ATA], it will be fine. At this time, the system will regard SATA1 and SATA2 devices as [Primary IDE Master] and [Primary IDE Slave].

3, If you use a motherboard that supports SATA, but do not use SATA devices, some motherboard BIOS still open the SATA channel by default, then use GHOST to backup the system will also cause a black screen, so we Also need to set it in the BIOS to block the SATA channel, or in the third step of the first case, change [Primary P-ATA+S-ATA] to [P-ATA Ports Only]. The system will block the SATA device, you can use it as a normal motherboard without SATA devices.
