I have a stack of laptops that I am supposed to turn into useful tools. &nbsp;I don't know any of the logins; don't know if they are Win2k or WinXP. &nbsp;I used Deriks Boot and Nuke to wipe the drives, thinking that I could use ghost loaded from a CD to copy the image I want onto the C: drive.<br />
<br />
After I used DBAN, the disk is wiped. &nbsp;Thats good! &nbsp;BUT, when I boot up into Ghost, it does not see the C: drive. &nbsp;Do I need to partition it? &nbsp;And if so, how? &nbsp;I only have CD or USB access, no floppy. &nbsp;Somehow I have to make Ghost see the hard drive so I can image it.<br />
<br />
HELP!!
