I have a Golden Tee 2002. It boots up fine when it's a nice day outside(temp wise), and if it's cold it won't boot up. when it boots, everything works great and plays fine. I want to know if there's something wrong with my board, or the drive that's causing this? it's in my garage where temperature is damn near close to outside temp. It's irritating, and I want to fix it. I'd also like to make a backup drive, but Windows recognizes the drive(disk2) but will not assign it a drive(g:\) letter. None of the cloning programs I have are able to access the information and backup the drive. can I not copy disk2 to disk1 through chdman?
 
Ghost

I've had some success cloning drives with Ghost. The best thing to do is boot into DOS and then run Ghost from there. You can do a disk to disk clone.

If you hook up the source and destination disks to a PC's second IDE channel, then boot from a floppy or bootable CD with Ghost on it, you should be able to do the clone. I know there might be simpler ways to do this, but I'm old school and this works for me.

As for the temp... I have seen games work at near 0 degrees and others not work unles it's like 60 degrees outside. I don't know about the 2002, but your drive could have an issue. Typically, I've seen hard drives with issues boot more consistently in cold temperatures (we used to put failing hard drives in the freezer for a bit to give us enough time to work on them before they started clicking again!).

It's possible that it's not the drive and that it's something in the power supply or gameboard. Not much of an answer I know, but it's all situational.
