Problem

• SATA drives are not recognised by Current DET
  Licensed version of Ghost
• V7.01 Corporate Edition
• Attempts to ghost from a floppy boot disk result
  in error 24010.

Windows Domains

• If the PC has been joined to a Windows domain you
  must run the following registry patch BEFORE
  capturing an image.
• C\DETapps\Support\Source\scripts\dompassw.reg
• By default, Windows automatically changes the
  password on the local computer account at regular
  intervals
• When you restore an image it will have an 'old'
  domain computer account password and so the
  Windows domain will reject the computer ie.
  prevent the PC from rejoining the domain again
• NB. This is the domain computer account and NOT a
  user account.
