| 184047 | 2003-10-17 09:10:00 | S'alright Curly Yes I am a fan of Ghost, but Symantec bought PowerQuest so Ghost & Drive Image are now in the same stable. Convergence will probably see the two products grow closer together until they become one. I am just anticipating the inevitable, and I also acknowledge that DI-7 is probably easier for a newbie to cope with as it does its thing in Windows. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

| 184049 | 2003-10-17 10:37:00 | Usually once a month if I am not happy with something usually a bad installation or too much tweaking ,I do a restore from a image file though using Drive Image on my 98SE PC so it only takes me about 15 mins or so comes in very useful for experimenting with new stuff | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 184050 | 2003-10-17 11:25:00 | Yeah, Ghost 2003 does a lot of config stuff from Doze... just has to reboot when it actually makes the image. Im assuming DriveImage is the same? |

Yes it does JM, but I think it exits Windows for the imaging stage, and being a bit of a DOS-head I do all my imaging from the command line so I have never tried that facility. However, if I understand the blurb correctly, DI can image an OS partition or drive without exiting Windows. Something I read also suggested you could image in the background while continuing to work, though that seems a difficult feat to accomplish, given that significant changes might occur in the drive's contents betweeen the start and finish of the imaging process. If Drive Image has found a reliable means of imaging an OS in the background while continuing to work then I can well understand why Symantec would want to buy into that technology. The offspring of the merger of those parents will either be Einstein or Frankenstein. Cheers Billy 8-{) :| |

| 184052 | 2003-10-17 22:06:00 | Yeah Ghost2003 is good - it has saved me a couple o' times. It does need to reboot to DOS for imaging but it comes with an "Image Explorer" so you can fish specific files out of images instead of restoring the whole thing which is handy. |

| 184053 | 2003-10-19 19:56:00 | Oh my God you're right! My first PC had DOS 6.22. How could I ever forget working with Works for DOS! 20mb hdd and 1 mb ram and a 386 SX 25 processor (I think). Ahh the good old days. Yes, first Windows experience was with PC number 2 and Windows for Workgroups from the start of 1995. Perhaps Windows just seems to have been around forever. |
