Interesting reading Jim. I especially liked this part. “Some have reported far more serious problems, including damage to their hard disk's boot sector.” Really, this from a new you beaut expensive programme from a leading software company. You sort of half expect it with freeware but not from a leading software house.

Billy, skinning this cat is not as straightforward as I would have hoped. Seems we have a selection of plastic knives! :D

227561 2004-04-11 07:25:00 Well Bob, I just read all that horror stuff and it seems that the common factor is the use of CDs for backup storage.

I use a second hard drive to store my images which is much faster, and I also use a Dos boot disk and the Dos interface. It doesn't take long to get the hang of it, and I've never had an image failure or a rewrite failure.

I have used Ghost Personal Edition 5.1, Ghost 2001 and currently use Ghost 2003.

Maybe some of the problems reported had their basis in hardware issues?

Cheers

227562 2004-04-11 08:03:00 I'm with BillyT on this too. Ghost is superb and just double check that you have the correct image or drive "from" and "going to" and works a treat. I too use it commercially and have never had a problem.
Used Ghost PE and 2003.

227564 2004-04-27 00:04:00 Get clone max, put it on one bootible floppy and restart the computer, it will copy everything super fast but the new HD will have a patation the same size as the small HD so you will have to resize with you fav program after the transfer.
