Did you delete the old drive from Ghost
Shut down
Exchange drives
Cold boot and let Ghost find the new drive?
Hope this helps
**bleep**
it would appear that my nickname is not allowed :)
apologies
Removed the old drive from Ghost and cold booted but it still doesn’t find that USB drive.
You didn't happen to assign an alias to the old drive did you? Tasks/Options/External Drives/ will let you see any aliases you have assigned....Or is this what you meant when said you "removed the old drive from Ghost?"

I finally got it straight. I removed the drive from one USB hub and connected it to another. Ghost finally found it as Games40 then after the last reply here, I went to Tasks/Options/External Drives and renamed it to Games200(which is actually what the drive is named in Vista) . Everything appears to be fine now. Thanks for the help.
Sweet. Thanks for letting us know you got it resolved!

Back again! Had a power failure and when I got back up, Ghost doesn’t recognoze the drive again. It does show up anywhere, not even on the Options/USB Drives. I’ve moved it to at least 4 different USB ports and cold booted several times. The drive works fine for everything else but not for Ghost. I’m at a loss for what to try next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Could you elaborate on your power failure? What happened?
This has gotten weird! During a 2 hours chat with Symantec techs on Monday, they determined the partition record was bad on the drive. I deleted the partition(200GB) and tried to redefine a new one but all I can get is 128GB. I wrote the makers of the enclosure but they said it had to be the driver which I don’t buy because I have a 300GB running on the same driver. I’ve got an inquiry in to Western Digital but I don’t hold out much hope for that. Later today I’m going to take the enclosure to a neighbor who is still running XP and see what it does. It could be that all these problems come from a glich in the drive itself. I’ll reply the result.
How strange. Yes, please let us know what you find out about this problem. Thanks!
Same thing on the XP machine. I’ve received a response from WD wanting me to take it out of the enclosure and install it inside the machine. I think I’m going to swap enclosures first.

That 128GB gives a clue. Check your BIOS settings (?) and see that 48bit LBA is set to on.
I did a google on that limit because I knew it was familiar and here's a reference to a W2K installation situatiion:
http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.id=ata_drives&message.id=151
The issue here is simply that your copy of Windows 2000 has not been set up for 48-bit LBA support. This requires BOTH the appropriate service pack AND the addition of the EnableBigLBA registry key.
Check out the WD website FAQs and I'm sure you will find out more about this. I don't remember if you've said what version of Windows you are using but this should apply.
Here's another specific to WD:
In order for you system to fully recognise hard disks over 127 GB, the MB BIOS and the OS will need to support 48 bit LBA. WinXP without at least SP1 will not support 48 bit LBA you will need to slip stream the service pack into the installation disk in order for the OS, during installation, to be able to see the entire drive. Otherwise it will only see the 160GB drive as 127GB.
Hope that helps .....
I swapped from the Vantec to a Triton enclosure, put my 120 in the Vantec, and everything is fine. Apparentle the enclosure can be a problem regardless of what the manufacurer says. Thanks for all your time and attention.
