I'm trying to run Norton Ghost and get my external USB 2.0 HDD to function
at the DOS level. It was finicky at best and may have required a couple of
attempts to "catch" if you will. Now it doesn't work at all. What's the
magic recipe for getting an external USB devise driver to load in DOS with
WinXP?

thanks!

Windows XP is not based on DOS. There is no DOS to boot into.

Norton Ghost 2003 boot floppies use DOS.

The USB driver I use on my dos bootable floppy is 'duse.exe'. This driver
can be downloaded, search using Google.
