![]() I will post the link to the actual file where the driver has to be extracted from first. If you can't get the Iomega 2.0 driver to work, there's a Panasonic driver that appears to work very well. Here's a direct quote from the Method 4 section: I'm not sure what you mean when you say the page doesn't really address USB 2.0. It seems to me that USB 2.0 ought to work in BartPE, since it's basically a Windows environment using Windows drivers. I don't know whether it's hardware-specific, related to my mobo or BIOS, XP-related, or related to a driver or lack thereof. It's all rather frustrating, and I'm woefully uninformed about how to go about solving the problem. The answer came from Bart himself that yes it did - you just had to have the device plugged in at boot time, or maybe NOT have it plugged it at boot time (it was unclear due to translation issues from Bart's native language nevertheless, I tried it both ways). Some 'net searches yielded me a discussion at some forum in which the question was asked whether BartPE supported USB (I think the question was specific to 2.0). Oddly enough, when I boot up BartPE, I can't see my USB drive at all! This would seem to fly in the face of the idea that my mobo is providing some kind of built-in legacy USB support. So, trying to find another method for creating images outside of Windows and storing them externally, I discovered BartPE. I've also tried another driver (Panasonic USB 2.0 driver). I've been advised to try disabling USB 2.0 support in the BIOS before booting up to Ghost, but all that does is give me an error message that no host controller was found. It has been suggested to me that perhaps my BIOS is "USB-aware," and that attempts to load a driver are conflicting with whatever the mobo has built in. Transferring gigs of data at USB 1.1 speeds is rather limiting. In fact, Ghost running from PC or MS DOS will recognize and use the drive, but that seems to be due to some kind of legacy support built into the motherboard (see specs below). Or at least it doesn't work at USB 2.0 speed. Then I built a whole new computer, so everything's new and different now and of course the driver doesn't work. Then the drive itself died, and I replaced that, too. The drive enclosure later died, and I replaced it with an Adaptec ACS-100 external USB 2.0 enclosure. It of course came with a driver to create a bootdisk to go into DOS and create/restore images to/from the external drive. ![]() ![]() Long story short: Got Norton Ghost 2003 a few years ago bundled with Iomega external HDD. It's become a crusade for me to get my external USB drive to work at USB 2.0 speed outside of a WinXP environment.
