    Anyother Dells having this issue?

    I have to Ghost to a 32gig FAT32 drive, so I can't put a lot on my OS partition and it's slow at USB1.1.

    Any ideas? It's a ghost 2003 disc with all the roll-ups / drivers I could find.

    What's your BIOS version?

    My E1705 sees my 250GB Firewire/USB drive just fine.

    Well, Windows see's it, just DOS/Ghost doesn't.

    OK. It's probably your Ghost version. I use Ghost 8.0 Corporate, and it sees my Firewire drive just fine on my E1705 with no additional drivers.

    ghost 8.3 sees my 300 gig usb 2.0 fine
    so it sounds to me like youve got a ghost problem not a hardware problem the only thing you might check if you have usb legacy support enabled in the bios because if it is not you cannot boot to usb (no do emulation)
