700053	2008-08-24 23:56:00	Might be a stupid question but what is better? Norton Ghost or True Image? I just got a new hard drive today and want to replace my os hard drive, can i use either of those apps to ghost one hard drive directly onto the new hard drive (even though the hard drives are different sizes etc) without any hassle? Vista Ultimate x64 Any help appreciated	Codex (3761)
700054	2008-08-25 00:07:00	I would go with True Image myself, it's very reliable and quick in its work. I've found it very good myself. I'm not a fan of Norton.anything tho, so I'm probably bias that way anyway! LOL	bevy121 (117)

It was OK when it was Norton Ghost bootable from a Floppy or CD, but the more recent versions are :yuck: i must be dumb deaf blind and limbless i can't find it :S NOPE! right place - its called Disk Wizard, you install it then you can make a bootable media as well, Disk Wizard Download (www.seagate.com ) the instruction manual is further down the page on the right ( PDF)	wainuitech (129)

700062	2008-08-25 02:14:00	Another vote for true image 11 although I made a bootable CD from it and used it to clone my step sons hard drive as running it from within windows was slower and had an error that would not go away but run from the live CD it gave no errors and he has running the new drive for 2 months now	gary67 (56)
