Ghost Solution Suite V2.5 and portable hard drives

I had been using a portable hard drive to ghost to and from with no issues for almost a year. The drive crashed so I bought a new 2TB driver. I can connect the drive to the computer and everything looks good, but when I run ghost it does not show up as an option to save my image to.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Ghost 15 has a problem "seeing" an external drive of 2TB and over, try splitting it and then Ghost should "see" it

Deric, 

 

   I am using Solution Suite V2.5, not Ghost 15. Also I am not sure what you mean about splitting the drive. How can I split a portable hard drive?

 

Thanks,

 

Karen

Hi,

Help for the solution suite can be found here: http://www.symantec.com/connect/

By splitting the drive he means to reformat the 2TB into two 1TB partitions.

Hope this helps
