CERC ATA 100 4ch and ghost 2003

[Harald_Jensas at Dell.com]

Can you not simply use a linux livecd that support the CERC ATA100 controller and use dd piped into gzip to creata an image of your harddrive?

Create image:
dd if=/dev/sda | gzip -c >sysimage.gz

Restore image:
gzip -dc sysimage.gz | dd of=/dev/sda
