Help!

I just finished updating all the firmware, system BIOS, etc. with IBM server support. I need to access the RAID array to create a Ghost image of the system/boot partition.

I have tried multiple boot disk configurations with no results. Here is the one I have now:

CONFIG.SYS:

[menu]
menuitem=CD, Start computer with CD-ROM support.
menuitem=NOCD, Start computer without CD-ROM support.
menudefault=CD,5
menucolor=7,0

[CD]
device=himem.sys /testmem:eek:ff
device=emm386.exe noems x=d000-dfff i=b000-b7ff
;device=oakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
device=sscdrom.sys /d:mscd001 /v
device=btdosm.sys
device=flashpt.sys
device=btcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
device=aspi2dos.sys
device=aspi8dos.sys /d:mscd001
device=aspi4dos.sys
; For Dell PowerEdge 1600SC (ATT System)
device=megaspi.sys
; For IBM eSeries 220 (ALQCS1)
device=ipsraspi.sys /f
;device=aspi8u2.sys /d:mscd001
device=aspicd.sys

[NOCD]
device=himem.sys /testmem:eek:ff

[COMMON]
files=150
buffers=99
dos=high,umb
stacks=9,256
lastdrive=z

AUTOEXEC.BAT:

@ECHO OFF
LH A:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001
LH A:\SMARTDRV.EXE /x

I can see the drives within Ghost, and the partitions, but Ghost sees the drives as NTFS/HPFS. When I go to select a location for the image, all I see is the floppy drive.

How can I get Norton Ghost 2003 to see the partitions so I can create an image? Any help very much appreciated.

Best solution, use IBM's Remote Deployment Manager. In your files, I don't see the DOS version of the RAID driver (or can't tell which one you're using). What RAID Controller is installed?
