USB Harddrie not recognized in DOS

I am trying to use GHOST on an old laptop. I have a 40 GB HD and a 6 GB HD in a USB enclosure. The problem is the USB is not recognized in DOS. The USB A:\ is just fine.

Any ideas?

I dont think USB hard drives are supported and detected in old BIOSes. If u can get try updating your BIOS for external USB HDD support or go check your BIOS for USB-HDD detection and see if it works.
