usb laplink

I'm not sure what you're looking for but Ghost, Laplink, and for that matter, PC AnyWhere can all use the same types of cabling. All are able to use multiple types of cables. The problem is that these programs can't talk to each other. A USB pinout will be unoworkable because the USB standard dictates only one type of wiring. USB doesn't require crossover.

Since I'm from America, I guess I don't understand English that well. Ghost does, indeed support a USB solution. But, that is only Ghost to Ghost. It also only applies to the most expensive versions of the product. Please consult their website for the most recent information.

Don't know about ghost or laplink but you can buy a usb networking cable to do a peer-to-peer network that you could use...
checkout www.usbtown.com

They sell special the usb cable.

I Have ghost 2001 and need to link my pc to my laptop to make an image of the laptop hard drive serial is too slow ghost supports usb the point of the question is that a usb cable is pin 1 on one end is the same on other like a rj45 patch cable but a rj45 crossover cable has pins different on each end is it the same for usb and what are thay

Are you asking for the pinout details on a USB port?
Many mothernoards have different headers on the board, so please only use this as a guide, and CHECK OUT YOUR SYSTEMS FIRST (apologies for shouting, but I don't want the blame if you fry your setup)

Every functional USB port must have the following pins in the correct order,

Pin Name Description Cable Colour
1 Vcc +5V DC Red
2 D- Data - White
3 D+ Data + Green
4 Gnd Ground Black

This is standard on all functional USB motherboards. On occasion, there is a 5th pin. This 5th pin is used for Shielding purposes and is rarely used. If used, Shield should be connected to Ground at the host only. No USB device should connect Shield to Ground.

The orientation of each group of 4 pins is extremely important. Take particular care to check the location of the Vcc (power) pins. On some motherboards they are located side by side, and on others they are not.

The following link (remove any spaces) http://www.laplink.com/products/cables/overview.asp gives the details from Laplink about their cable, it might be easier (and more reliable) to use their USB cable in this case.

Hope this helps you.
