It's not horribly expensive, and it's really good for backups.Looks interesting - but it's a BIG download at 104MB! Might look at it once I get this sorted... johcar (6283)

Ghost doesn't care, so long as the BIOS sees whatever drives you have, so will Ghost.

I boot my Ghost of a Win95 boot floppy. Then run Ghost.
The boot floppy can't see my USB drive but Ghost can.

It doesn't matter whether you boot Ghost off a floppy or CD.

But no, you can't do it from within Windows. A good thing too, I don't trust ghosting an O/S thats in use.
