Not quite Thomas Norton SystemWorks 2003 indeed contains Roxio GoBack, but you need to have Norton SystemWorks 2003 Pro before you get Norton Ghost included as well. |

| 166853 | 2003-08-12 09:26:00 | Just to clarify my posting that Billy quoted from, that was for dos/win98, and for preparing an existing hard drive with OS installed to be used with a new motherboard. That was why all the devices are recommended to be removed. Tweak'es comment about not needing to do that is quite right as you will be using the same motherboard and hardware, just a new drive. Also, the free software that either can come with a drive or can be downloaded from the HDD manufactures site will also as tweak'e said copy your existing hard drive installation, sector by sector to a new hard drive. That is much the easiest and cheapest way to go with a new hard drive. Not sure if XP makes any difference havent had experience of that yet, but expecting to get a copy soon. |

| 166854 | 2003-08-12 23:46:00 | Thanks Terry, I'll amend my info file accordingly. I have been assembling information and advice for a Ghosting/imaging FAQ and I have files for a variety of circumstances. I didn't quite get the full import of your original post as quoted in this thread. BTW, re Thomas' reference to Goback, that is a very limited option that is nowhere near as useful as a drive image. It certainly has its uses, but is no help if a drive dies or refuses to boot etc. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
