I saw the existing thread on this subject but it seems still unresolved.
I have exactly the same problem.
The main reason I upgraded from Ghost 2003 to 14 is what I thoughtwould be compatiblity with USB drives.
I am creating the system backups on my ext. USB HDD. (The reason for the external drive).
Now the recovery system does not recognize this drive and I cannot restore my C drive.
My external HDD is a 500GB GForce Fantom USB 2.0 HDD.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated
