For Norton Ghost to access SCSI CD/DVD writers, a DOS ASPI driver must be
installed prior to use. The Backup and Clone Wizards attempt to detect and
install the driver automatically, but you may have to select the drivers in the
Advanced Settings. When creating a Ghost boot disk from the Ghost Boot

Norton Ghost should work with most SCSI and IDE writers produced in 2000 or
later. It may or may not work with older models. Use the latest firmware available
for your CD/DVD writer. An IDE CD/DVD writer performs best if it is mounted
on the secondary IDE controller.
