I probably did install one or more programs and will try and work out what they were, I did however do a System Restore to a time prior to my last "good" Ghost backup, I have also reinstalled Ghost and installed the Ghost 14 trial but that had the same problem.
I'm trying to avoid installing a back up from last week and was hopeful that there may be an easier way.
Check Device Manager. There's more than likely a driver that is not functioning properly. I'd look for any splats and check on potentially reinstalling the drivers. System restore doesn't allways address driver problems. It all depends on if the driver/application is monitored by system restore or even being properly monitored.
Thanks for your help, in the end I have reinstalled a Ghost backup that predated the problem and now everything is fine.
Ghost 12 has suddenly stopped recognizing my drives, the "Define Backup Wizard" page doesn't show any drives but if I tick the "show hidden drives" box then my three drives are listed but not by drive numer, only drive size.
I use XP Home and "C" & "D" are built in drives and "G" is a USB drive and until a few days ago I could back up and use the incremental backup on a daily basis without any problems.
I can still do a daily backup of the "C" drive but only a full copy and not incremental, Ghost has the message that the recovery point set option is disabled because you selected an unmounted drive. The backups are saved as "Local Disk0-1_Drive001.v2i, the next backup as Drive002 etc.
Ghost recognizes the back ups (on drive "G") and I can recover files and folders from them in the normal way, and presumably restore the complete drive with the "recover my computer" command as that command also recognizes the backups.
Ghost is the only program that isn't seeing the drives and a full scan with Zone Alarm etc. doesn't show any problems.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Did you install any new programs in between the last time that your drives showed up as visible? It's possible that there may be driver or service problem that is preventing Ghost from seeing your drives as properly mounted.
