Dual 2k drives imaged w/ Ghost 2nd drive won't boot

videobruce
I really don't know just how to explain this. I have 2 bootable drives with 2k on each. The second is a image of the first done using Ghost. I've done this before, but this time the drives are hooked up to a Highpoint controller which, I assume is causing the problem.

I have a problem...

Admiral LSD
Through a massive cock-up with Partition Magic my main NTFS partition was rendered unbootable. Thinking only the partition table was screwed I attempted to repair it using the linux fdisk program booted using the tomsrtbt disk (something I've done several times before with no ill-effects.

Multiword DMA?

pmistry
Can someone just clarify this for me? I know all about DMA modes and Ultra DMA modes but what is Multiword DMA? My 52x CD uses Multiword DMA 2 and my Burner uses Mutliworld DMA? How do these relate to older DMA modes and PIO Modes?

Problem with NAT and DHCP...in my router

Klark
Unfortunately, I have a question about a modem/router that none of you has ever used before. I know this because I have a friend at my ISP that got me the new. It was like pulling teeth to get a prototype, but let me tell you, it's bad-a*s so far.
