Now I've finally got my new 120Gb drive partitioned and running well (many thanks to all who responded), I'm trying to organise an efficient way to backup the C partition, which is sized at 8gb but only holds around 4gb of data.

(The system is XP Pro)

It seemed to me that the most effective location for the backup file would be a USB 2.0 drive, so I've been attempting to use Ghost 2003 to do this.

But it doesn't want to work - dunno why.  It accepts all the necessary info from Windows, including the instruction to add USB 2.0 drivers from the 'Advanced' section, but when it finally kicks into PCDos to begin the operation, it freezes at the screen that reads:

"Iomega ASPI USB-EHC 1.0 V.02 12 Aug 2002
Copyright Iomega Corporation"

It would seem that the proposed Iomega drivers don't agree with the USB drive?  (which is definitely a 2.0 unit).

Suggestions welcomed.
