Yes & Windows as well as the drive imaging programs report the correct
disk size also. I am sick with a cold but plan to try these same
drives in another computer since as I have several fairly new systems.
Obviously I should be able to determine what is causing the problem by
swapping parts when I get the time.
At this time, this is a real mystery.
Thanks for the help.

Yep - have you got the drives setup as "AUTO" in the bios? (ie. I let the
system decide how many cylinders etc the drive has)

Been sick here but had the time to try DriveImage 6 and 2002.
150MB/min
I gotta swap HDs between systems to find this problem.
Thanks for the help

You seem to be doing everything right - I am wondering if you have a
hardware problem of some sort - I know it's unlikely but I can't think what
else could be stopping you

Thanks for the reply again.
Yep - My experience too except not quite that fast but I was using
older hard drives.
I tried plain Maxtor ATA133 Drive too. No Help
It is getting worse
Done. Only one drive on each IDE channel. Now I get 150MB/minute!
OK I will try that next. I have been using a Ghost Floppy
boot/program disk that works OK in other systems.

I am also going to edit the Ghost boot disk (autoexec.bat &
config.sys) to get rid of CD drivers. It appears that they do not load
anyhow but they add a lot of boot time.
15 Minutes!!!

Obviously I am doing something really stupid and the solution ought to
be real easy to find.
I believe that I eliminated the overclocking in Motherboard BIOS but I
need to check that again too.
Thanks again. Will report back.

You should be fine with the Promise controller I think - I used to use the
built-in Promise controller on my Gigabyte 8IRXP motherboard (in ATA mode,
not RAID mode) and it seemed to ghost perfectly (ie. at about 2GB per
minute)

Yes - make sure the hard drives on different cables (not the same cable)

I wonder if the 8MB cache on those drives is somehow causing problems?

I too am really curious as to what your problem might be

Maybe try putting both drives temporarily on the motherboard controllers
(IDE1 and IDE2) to eliminate the Promise controller as a possible cause?

Also, how do you boot up to use Ghost? Try booting the PC using a Win98 CD,
and select "boot from CDROM", then "boot without CDROM support". Now put the
Ghost floppy in the A: drive. Change to the A: drive and start ghost. I am
suggesting you try this boot procedure in case something else you are
loading is causing the problems.

If you are only ghosting 3GB of data, the Partition to Partion copy should
only take about 90 seconds

Thanks for the reply and help!
OK - I just tried partition to partition instead of disk to disk.
Still about 200MB/minute
Yes I understand the reason for that. I only have a 3GIGs of stuff on
80GIG drives so that should be fast.
ATA100 but that should be OK and they test OK in windows.
I am using the latest Ghost 2002 that works well on my other setup. I
have not tried Ghost 2003 but I want to figure out what is wrong here
first.
Yup except one drive is on Promise ATA133 Addon card.
Thanks - It sounds like I am OK in windows.
I need to wring this out. First I will try to do an image from the
1st IDE channel on the Mainboard to the 2nd IDE channel. Maybe the
Promise does not like DOS or something.
One "good" thing here is that this is performance so bad that it ought
to be easy to find the problem.
Thanks again for the hints. I will get back when I find something
new.

Your computer will work just fine without IAE. Forget it. Less problems
after all without it.

Good question. I don't really know.

Organise your setup so that you backup using Partition To Partition. That
is by far the fastest backup method that I've found. With modern hard drives
on an ATA 100 or 133 controllersyou should get about 2000 (not 200).

The nearer to the end of drive that you write the slower it will be. Eg. at
the start of my drives I get about 2100 but near the end of the drive I
think I get about 1600 or so (still pretty damn fast)

Make sure you are using the 80wire cables.

Make sure you caddies are ATA/133 - if they are not then maybe the hard
drive will drop its rate down to stop data errors?

There was a big speed improvement in one of the versions of Ghost (cant
remember for sure which one) - so if you are using a really old copy of
Ghost get a newer version - I am using Ghost 2002

Try putting the drives on different cables - I dont think this matters - but
its worth a shot

My IBM drive also benchmarks at 27280 using Sisoft Sandra

Dont give up - you can solve it

Let us know how you get on. Try Partition to Partition and tell us what you
get. And tell us what version of Ghost you use.

HELP John - Change of subject:
I use your backup system except use *three* backup drives in removable
caddies. Now my problem:
On my old 900MHz BX system(Win98SE), I got 450-650 MHz/minute backup
speed using Ghost and old ATA33/66 Hard Drives.

Now, With a new P4 2.4G system(Win98SE), Gigabyte 8SRX Motherboard and
ATA100/133 drives including the Western Digital 8MB cache Hard Drives,
I get 200MHz/minute backup speed.

SisoftSandra Pro 2002 file system (hard drive) bar graph test results are
typical 27MB/sec which looks OK by comparison to the reference drives.

What is going on?

Thanks, John S

Raid 0 is good because you get a bit of speed - but not sure how useful RAID
1 is compared with having a drive in the drawer

If you get a virus with RAID 1 both your drives are afflicted - if someone
steals your PC, then both drives are gone - if you screw up windows by
installing something that stuffs it then both drives are gone

Thats why I think a drive kept elsewhere in the house is more useful - sure,
if your main drives fails you lose everything you've done since the previous
backup, but I tend to backup at least daily

I can see RAID 1 being useful for some people, but for me keeping the drive
in a caddy is probably better

Yeh - maybe - and this time leave Norton off until you get everything
working

Have you tried killing off all the background processes before running the
IAA installer?

I dont know if you've got the money, but a spare hard drive mounted in a
removable caddy plus a copy of Norton Ghost is invaluable - well worth the
money - with this setup, you can run a Partition to Partition backup of your
whole system at various stages as you proceed (at 2GB per minute if you have
modern drives!!!) - then if you do something that upsets things, you can
just restore from your last backup - you can have lots of backups on the one
backup drive (eg. immediately after installing OS, after installing all
drivers, etc etc)

I have two backup drives - if I am about to make a major system change, I
backup to backup drive #1, then I make the change, and start using backup
drive #2 for the next few weeks - this way I know I can always revert to
backup drive #1 if I ever need to

John,

New install, if you remember a past post I made regarding the other
spontaineous reboot, it involved Norton "symevent.sys". Maybe I should
reformat again and start over! This really sucks!

Thanks

If you've installed the Chipset Info, in Device Manager under Hard Disk
Controllers you should see "Intel 82801DB Ultra ATA Storage Controller"

I can't explain the blue screen of death

Did you start from a fresh install or did you just swap over the motherboard
and use your existing OS installation?

Good luck

I installed the chipset inf, but I don't see it in the "add/remove programs"
section. So, I really can't tell if it was installed or not!

I'm not having a chipset error, I get a blue screen and I don't remember
what it said. Then I uninstalled IAA, and its working fine! I thought this
program was important for the system because it's on the Asus setup disk...I
dunno! Should this have been installed prior to any other programs?

If the IAA is giving an error saying that your chipset isn't supported I may
be able to help (see my previous post as I had the same problem)

If its crashing the PC, then I dunno

Did you install the Intel Chipset INF yet? You have to install that prior
to installing the IAA
