I just picked up Norton Ghost 12 to use with Vista and I'm thoroughly
confused. Before I contact (and probably have to pay for) support I thought
I'd see if anyone here had used it and could answer my questions.
All I want to do is use the boot disk and backup the system partition, but
it looks like they've changed the way it works.
The boot disk is only giving me recovery options and no backup ones. Is
everything done from the "client app" now?
My Dell E521 has two recovery partitions (the Dell Utility and Vista
recovery) that I'd also like to backup but they aren't showing up in the
list of drives. Can I not select raw partitions on the disk? Am I limited
only to drives that are mapped by the OS?
In case of 100% disk failure I expected to be able to boot from the recovery
CD and restore the two recovery partitions, the OS, (and an additional
files/games partitions on Disk 0) on a replacement disk. How am I supposed
to recover a failed disk?
I like the old way because it operated outside the OS. I'm not sure I like
this whole "recovery service" idea. If all I wanted was an suped up version
of Vista's System Restore I wouldn't have bothered.
