Hi,

i would suspect, that the DOS Part of Ghost runs your Harddisks in PIO
Mode only. This is a quite common problem when DMA access is not fully
supported by the BIOS and the imaging tool needs to be tun unter DOS. The
only thing you can do is using a imaging solution that does not use DOS
(besides changing the mainboard ;-) ).

Novastor supplies a tool that runs unter linux. Alternatively you may
wanna check out the "BART PE" solution (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder),
which allowes you to build a CD-bootable WindowsXP. There you can
integrate the Windows-based version of Ghost. This should run MUCH faster,
because WindowsXP would load the DMA capable drivers. Same applies if you
back up the Images to a network drive and you have a Realtec NIC (the DOS
drivers are crap). Speeds up the Imaging process by 400%.

Have fun

Frank
