If you can get Norton Ghost to work on your machine, then the software can make a cloned image of your hard drive for quick restore. However, notice the word "IF". Instructions for using Ghost are not straight forward. Creating a sucessful clone can be a real challenge. Additionally, there is no try before you buy option, so if Ghost doesn't work with your system, you are out of luck. I've had much more success with a program called Drivebackup from Newtek, Inc (NTI). With Drivebackup, I easily made a self-booting image copy clone of my Windows XP laptop computer for emergency purposes. Plus, NTI's website has a trial download option so you can make sure their program works on your machine before purchasing.

This is the most difficult and annoying software I have ever purchased. I am extremely computer literate and found Ghost to be very difficult to use. Then after backing up my old PC, it was even more difficult to use to restore to my new PC. AND then after all this I have learned I can't get a refund because I opened the box.

But Not for NTFS November 30, 2002

I recently purchased Norton Ghost 2003which, I was told, was suitable for my Windows-2000 Professional/NTFS environment. The program could not produce a boot diskette that could "see" my second HDD containing three NTFS-formatted partitions. Multiple pleas for help to the Symantec Support website produced multiple suggestions - none of which worked. I needed to abandon my old Quantum HDD (my C: Drive) and clone it to one partition of the new 80 GB Seagate. In the end, I did achieve this, but no-thanks to Norton Ghost 2003. My success came my using the software "DiscWizard 2002" available (free) from the Seagate website. DiscWizard ran from my C: Drive under Windows 2000 Pro and successfully conditioned my Seagate HDD ready for swapping with the old Quantum HDD. To my delight, my computer booted up to Windows 2000 Pro without a murmur.

Ghost has great potential but there are still bugs to be ironed out. I tested it on a Windows 98 system and a Windows XP system. The test was to backup my systems to CD-R's. The backups worked flawlessly but the Integrity Check to verify the backups, told me my CDs contained errors and that I had to start all over again. Also, Ghost caused my Windows 98 system to lock up repeatedly to the point way I had to re-install the operating system.
