Ghost not mounting hard drive with error "Invalid Destination Drive"

Hello,

I am trying to image an HP xw6600 using a script made through LANDesk (a workstation management tool). LANDesk executes a script that uses Ghost 11 as it's imaging tool.

When trying to image, Ghost gives the error "Invalid Destination Drive". Here are the troubleshooting steps I took:

- from a command prompt, ran "diskpart", "list partition", "list disk" and "list volume" commands, no volumes partitions or disks were found
- went into the BIOS and made sure the HD was detected, and it was
- booted up the pc normally to see if the existing OS will load, it did
- swapped out the HD with a known good one, still got same error
- used the same LANDesk script to image another PC of a different model, that worked fine

Attached is the GHOSTERR.TXT file that was generated. I know for a fact that LANDesk adds this line to it
"Command line arguments: -clone,mode=load,src=i:\#NEW#\DESKTOP\WXP3UIU.GHO,dst=1 -noIDE -fni -ffx -sure -auto"

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks!
Mark

Yes, I checked the BIOS, and the HD was detected. However you bring up a good point about the drivers... I will try to load the correct hard drive controller drivers to the WINPE PXE boot image. (We use a winpe image to boot up the computer that's going to be imaged)

thanks!
