| 469049 | 2006-07-06 13:46:00 | Just installed Norton Ghost 10 and it seems to be working OK other than booting to the Recovering Environment. It boots (using the Ghost CD) OK but when it comes to the final stage, my normal Windows XP loads up rather than the Ghost Recovering Environment. Is this the way it should be or there is something wrong with the Ghost boot CD? If this is not the way it should be, how do I create another Ghost Boot CD so that I can boot up my computer to the "Ghost Recovery Environment" in case something should happen to my system? Cheers |

I use Acronis Drive Image, which is reliable and user friendly... unlike Ghost. | Strommer (42) | ||
| 469051 | 2006-07-06 23:51:00 | Hi Steve. I have run with Ghost 2003 for some time now and used it to recover successfully a couple of times. It hasn't indicated any problems to me. I'm interested in what problems you refer to. | Scouse (83) | ||

I use Acronis Drive Image, which is reliable and user friendly... unlike Ghost. The odd thing is that the first time I tried Acronis Imaging it failed miserably, they then had an update out that fixed the issue but it was a bad experience. Ghost (2003) is very reliable and while it possibly not "user friendly" for the average user it does the job for me. Sucessfully deployed machines must be in the hundreds for me (and from one sysprep'd image).. :2cents: |

I'm interested in what problems you refer to. It has been awhile but basically it would not restore the image and even getting to the point of restoring the image was a hassle. For details there is one or two threads that I started here on PF1, if you do a Search. |
