Norton Ghost 2003???

[Peter Wilkins]

Norton Ghost 2003 can very well restore NTFS partitions and does it from
floppy and is not yet driveimage based ( driveimage based is version 9
however).

Yes I know, I'm using it now. I said I had not used earlier versions
with NTFS, because I was using FAT then.

That what I said.

I think it may be the last or the only version of ghost that does
this.

2.Image files can be created onto CDs..........
3.The restore CD #1 can be bootable.......

you must set the command line to make a image sector by sector...

No need to do that. I use ghost 2003.
If you used image sector by sector you would need over 50 cds.

This is a very old thread. I'm just wondering why no one put this idiot NoNoBadDog! in his place. He made a statement that was 100% wrong and then proceded to badmouth people who disagreed with him. I hope he's reading this but I doubt it. Let's just go over this once more so that people realize that NNBD has absolutely no clue what he's talking about.

"Ghost was written by Peter Norton."

False. As Greg R noted, Ghost was created by a New Zealand company called Binary Research Limited. Peter Norton lives in California, not New Zealand.

"It has always been a Norton product."

Well, since it wasn't written by either Symantec or Mr. Norton this is false. As of 1998, the Norton name belonged to Symantec and Symantec issued a press release that year, "Local Disk Cloning Technology Acquired by Symantec".

"It became the property of Symantec when Peter Norton sold his company to Symantec."

False. Peter Norton sold his business to Symantec in 1990. Ghost was acquired in 1998 from Binary Research Limited.


Some of NNBD's inane comments:

"And your point is? The link you posted only verified my post..."

>Ghost has not been a norton product since it's inception.

"I never said it was. I said that they acquired it when Peter Norton sold it
to them. Get some help for the drug problem...you'll thank yourself later."

"Side note to Greg R. Not man enough to admit you are wrong...that 's okay. Some people are like that. Ghost was written by Peter Norton. It has always been a Norton product. It became the property of Symantec when Peter Norton sold his company to Symantec. Simple. If you don't get it...oh well. Otherwise, STFU."

Clever lad.
