norton ghost 2003 and xp home

[john]

When I attempt to backup my CD drive in win xp home, the
norton ghost 2003 seems to back it up to a certain point,
and then skips to the "finish". It seems like the ghost
program leaves out a portion of the hard drive. Is this a
bug, or what is going on?

So, have you tried to restore an image to see if it works? Is there an
option in Ghost to verify the image after it is created. You have to try it
to make sure it works. If you don't, you will never have confidence in the
program.

Thats the problem with a image , you just never know !!!

http://www.fssdev.com/products/ $ 34.94 make the clone
and then un-plug the power to the drive if you want.

Want to test drive a Demo for 30 days. It has some
features disabled.

Have you checked the backup using the Ghost verify feature? If it
verifies the backup, it's probably good. Also, Ghost only copies
data sectors not empty ones.
