Why doesn't BartPE recognize my hard disks under Vista 64 bit?

Hi - I just got my Pavillion dv9500t and wanted to image the system partition before booting up Vista 64 bit the first time.  I tried to use Bartpe but it did not recognize the hard disks.

I remember I had to download SATA drivers for my last laptop a few years ago because of the same problem - but I have also heard that BartPE doesn't work with Vista??

I am trying to see what is on the hard disks (e.g. how many partitions, and whether there is anything on the second drive) so that I can then boot into dos and use Ghost 2003 to image the system partition.

So how do I do that?

With Regards-
Sam

Ultimate Boot CD!  I've tried BPE & XPE - UBCD comes fully loaded!  Thanks John - no driver downloads required.
Did not address Ghost imaging
Yea, I am migrating all of my custom plugins to it slowly but surely.....
