Norton Ghost Version 14

[Guest Sarah Kateley]

Does any one know how to create a boot disk (or boot CD) to image a HD

without starting XP or Vista. In older versions, one was able to create

a boot-disk with ghost32.exe on it and it was possible to image the HD

within 20 to 25 minutes and save the image files on CDs/DVDs.

 

I have now got version 14 but there isn't a wizard to do this and also I

can't find anywhere how to image the HD. It is all about copy, backup

or recovery CD but I want a complete replica of my HD so that recovery

is easier like in the old versions.

Have you read the manual yet?

If you're running it in the 30 day trial period, you cannot create a recovery

disc.

I have switched to Acronis, a long time ago. Version 10, I believe. It is

extremely simple and reliable. Of course, the recovery CD will boot from

scratch. My 4 GB c: drive takes only 4 minutes to image. I make an image on

the first of the month. Saved my life many times. If you catch a virus, just

replace your whole c: drive with an image.

Acronis says that the install CD itself is bootable and can be used for

recovery purposes, you do not have to make a boot CD.

Maybe Norton does that too.

If True Image was downloaded, rather than purchased in a box, then a

bootable CD must be created using its built in CD creator. That CD

will do most anything the Windows version can do... backup, restore,

clone, whatever.
