external hard disk, WD Elements, USB3.0
I try to make a backup, by Ghost 11.5 Via MS-DOS , by flash Usb1.0 and flash usb 2.0
windows XP, and BIOS identifies the external WD drive:
In the early days of the week, I was able to back up to hard lamented,

When I boot with the Ghost, the software does not recognize the external drive and the BIOS does identify!

I tried to make everything:
I downloaded
Usbaspi.sys + DI1000DD.SYS
And I changed the CONFIG.SYS
doesn't help.
"Hirens.BootCD.10.6" And did not help
Is there support for USB3.0 ??
Is there a way to back up with Ghost, to the external hard drive!?

DOS & DOS software doesn't support USB.

You need some disk-imaging software which loads from a WinPE boot disc, as WinPE supports USB devices.
For example, Active@ Disk Image: http://www.lsoft.net/diskimage.aspx

Or, if it's a desktop PC, install the backup drive internally. Then Ghost for DOS will be able to access it.

Another alternative is to use Windows-based disk-imaging software (eg Acronis True Image):

However, veteran PC users will normally advise you that it's safer to create a system image while Windows is not running (ie by using a boot disc) That's how I always do it with Active@ Disk Image even though it can also do it in Windows.
