Norton Ghost 2001

[me]

In 2002 I bought Norton Ghost 2001. I have been told that it will not
restore a clone of XP. Is this true? I was just about to use it.

If it's Version is lower than Ver 7 it's my understanding that it won't
work.

You would be correct. IIRC, 2001 is version 5.

Thank you.

That settles it once and for all.

I hope that you have learned not to buy any program that is prefixed
'Norton'.. if you want a good cloning program, obtain Acronis TrueImage..

You read my mind, Michael... I use it and love it. I stopped using DI7
because it didn't support SATA (well it did, but it was very flaky) and I
wouldn't use Ghost 9 if I was given it. Bought the TI/Disk Director bundle
about four months ago, and I've had zero issues. The bootable CD it creates
even recognised the SATA RAID immediately - without the need for and
additional driver!

Norton Ghost 2001 WILL not image the machine if the drive to be imaged is
formated as NTFS. It will image the drive if it is formated as fat32.
However most people have it formated as NTFS and in that case you would need
ghost 2002 or later.
I prefer Ghost 2003.

I used Ghost just once many moons ago, and the sun never came up over the
horizon.. what a piece of crap!!!!.. since that time, I have never used an
image creation program.. here I am advising people to use Acronis <g> purely
on what I have been told about the program but, so far, I haven't had the
need to recover my computers, or the computers of the users supported by
me.. I guess that I should practice with something, eh..

I could cry sometimes.. I tell prospective customers that they will not have
problems again after I have worked on their machines, and they don't,
dammit.. I do myself out of repeat business daily.. occasionally, I get a
call from somebody who can't log into MSN Messenger.. sacre bleu!!.. quel
dommage!!.. OFD!!..

I use "Norton" Ghost 9 and I must say that it works alright on my system.

Each to their own I say.
