Ghost will work, if your drives are attached to a SCSI HBA. If they are
attached to a RAID HBA you're out of luck. You can't load the RAID HBA
drivers at DOS boot time and Ghost won't be able to find your RAID volumes.

Has anyone had success using Ghost (or other image software) to:

1)  Put an image of W2K onto a server that includes the TSM client.
2)  Connect to TSM Server and Restore System/boot partition (C:) and System
Objects.

I was able to successfully restore the System/boot partition (C:) and
System Objects without using Ghost by manually installing W2K and TSM
client.
It is when I use Ghost to restore the W2k and TSM client that I run into
the issue.

What happens is that I can successfully restore the System/boot partition
(C:) but when I try to restore the System Object, it stops before I get the
RESTORE COMPLETE screen.
Some of the items are restored, but it is not complete and becomes corrupt.

Thanks,
