Need help with Norton Ghost issue

I use Ghost 2003 to make image backups of my main H/D, I have run into a problem with my new system. I have two SATA H/D C: & D: when I run Ghost it does the image and when it goes to do the image integrety check it just goes into a boot loop after PC Dos mode. The screen will sit at the menue with the options to skip and go back to windows or PC DOS mode. It hangs after either of the two choses and after about 60 seconds the system reboots and starts all over again.
Ideas?

When launching ghost, use the switch NOIDE.
Ghost 2003 does not work with all sata drives. I ran into this issue using my ghost 2003 floppy on a client's system and the workaround is to edit the autoexec.bat on the floppy with ghost/ghost.exe /NOIDE

Ok, I will give that a try when I get home. Thanks Tony

I was able to do a proper backup using the noide switch, thanks TonyT.
I had a heck of a time getting it out of loop to PCDOS mode at boot up though, it was weird, I guess it just wanted to keep backing itself up forever. lol

Can you tell me how you fixed your issue. I'm running into the same problem and can't seem to get it out of that loop it's in. I don't really want to reload the OS at this point if I can get ghost out of this loop.
Thanks Frank
