Ghost exe download update#
I'm not sure what r56407.exe is - but I'm assuming that's an update program. To see certain system files, you have to enable viewing of system files (not just enable viewing of hidden files) to be able to see Autoexec.bat and such.
Ghost exe download driver#
You can always try to find a different firewire driver for Dos and find one that works for your drive. If that still does not work.well, then it might be the driver itself or the drive itself. Obviously make sure the driver is plugged in and on before Dos loads up. If you run Ghost2003 from within WinXP and choose the option to load Firewire drivers, it should reboot into PCDOS and load the appropriate driver - including assigning the drive letter. My A: files (1st Ghost disk) are AUTOEXEC.BAT, MOUSE.INI, CONFIG.SYS, MOUSE.COM, guest.exe, MSDOS.SYS, IO.SYS, FWR/aspi1394.sys, GHOST/(empty)įor some reason, XP doesn't let me see AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS under Explorer (I do have 'show hidden files' set), I have to copy them to temp files uder DOS (not listed above), reboot and edit them under XP, then reboot again. Is DOS running out of drive letters in spite of LASTRIVE=Z? The Maxtor firewire drive is not seen by DOS. When the original AUTOEXEC.BAT is run (without the r56407.exe), the following msgs are displayed:(approximately, from memory) Menuitem=FROMCD, This computer was started from a Ghost bootable CD Menuitem=FROMFLPY, This computer was started from a Ghost boot disk If not exist b:\ghost\ghost.exe goto CDBOOT
If exist a:\ghost\ghost.exe goto GHOSTFND Wim Poort, can you tell me how you run r56407.exe? I have not modified config.sys, even though Dell makes some cryptic references to it on the r56407.exe download page.Įcho Insert Ghost boot disk 2 (containing Ghost.exe)
DOS complains that r56407.exe "cannot be run in DOS mode", even though Dell says it can on its download page. My autoexec is listed below: the original one (which also doesn't work) did not have the r56407.exe line and the echos around it. Luphy, I have no other partitions on my built-in HD, the computer came with only 1 partition (well, 2 if you count the Dell diagnostic partition, which is very small).
