Besides USBASPI.SYS in the F2H subdirectory, some other useful drivers are: These are Windows self-extracting file format for Panasonic driver files for different OEM drives. > For troubleshooting USB connections, install all your devices and boot from your diskette with this in CONFIG.SYS: In your Autoexec.bat, are you mapping the optical drive?

I tried to sort the semi-useful stuff to the top - the later stuff is mostly informational. Sorry it's just a big pile of data right now. I want to burn backup images for all my PC's (with different OS - XP, 2000, 98, 98SE, ME) so I need DVD to operate in DOS with some software backup package ( suggestions?) so I can create and restore images. I burn EBD in Ghost with USB drivers but still doesn't work. So now I go to Symantec (Norton System Works 2003) Ghost which offers some USB support. Why package software and say can do image restore.? Their tech guy agrees but I am left in dust. I call Sony and they say they do not have drivers and that the DVD burner is spec'd to be used only with OS. OK.but I have the boot disk and all I want to do is read the image from the DVD burner so I need DOS USB drivers to support. As I am sure you are aware, USB is a connection and not a device that cab be booted from. In Simple Backup it allows the creation of EBD (Emergency Boot Disks) which specify the backup media being used (the Sony DVD burner). The DVD came with Veritas (now StompInc) Simple Backup. I have purchased a Sony DRX-510UL DVD burner for the sole intent of burning a backup image of my PC for disaster recovery.
