That's a good way to see which disk you are looking at, but . . .
If I could see the directory structure it wouldn't be a problem. When
I start Ghost from the DOS disk it shows the two hard drives that are
in the computer. But it shows very little info about them. I'm not able
to see any of the directories etc. The only parameters shown are:
Drive 1 2
Size 38172 38166
Type basic basic
Cyl 4866 4865
Hds 255 255
Sect 63 63
From those parameters I find no real differentiating information except
for the fact that I always use a smaller drive for the destination.
It would seem there should be a more positive method of identification.
Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks, Bob Lendrim
