Switches common to all GDisk commands (continued)
Explanation Switch
Forces USB support to start, even when the USB controller is being
run by something else. The forceusb attempts to take over the USB
Host Controller and then attempts to return it to the previous state
once the Ghost operation is complete. This works for controllers as
follows:
■
EHCI controllers with BIOS support are taken over and then
returned to the BIOS.
■
UHCI controllers with BIOS support are taken over and then
returned to the BIOS.
For example, the keyboard is returned after the Ghost operation
is finished.
■
OHCI controllers with BIOS support are taken over but not returned
to the BIOS.
Note the following:
■
Use this switch with caution.
■

a driver, for example, Iomega USB drivers. You may encounter
problems if you do this.
