Hi there,
Can anyone help me out on this problem please?
in arc 10 when adding a raster image in arcmap, it displays upside down (both projected and unprojected). the funny part of it is that the same image when added from arcsde it displays correctly. why?

Chances are that you have an .ecw.  If that is the case then this behavior has been captured in a NIM059863 and has been resolved in 10.1.  If you have another type of data, then please create a Support Incident so that we can test and document this behavior.

actually, it is a geosoft data (*.grd) not ecw. this behaviour is on both projected and un projected data..

That explains the issue then.  The only supported .grd files at 10 are the .grd from Golden Software per the Supported Raster Formats document. 

Golden Software Grid (.grd)


There are 3 types of Golden Software Grids that are supported: Golden Software ASCII GRID (GSAG), Golden Software Binary Grid (GSBG), and Golden Software Surfer 7 Binary Grid (GS7BG).


Single file�??extension *.grd


Read-only (Write�??developer only for GSAG and GSBG)

If you are using 10.1, then MapInfo .grd files are now supported as well, but likely the GeoSoft .grds are being read incorrectly as they are not supported.
