Norton Ghost or Drive Image

[Colin]

Which is best Norton Ghost 2003 or Powerquest Drive Image 7?

Can Drive Image have larger images than 2gig?

TIA

Hello

That is a matter of opinion, however from these issue's that
I have seen on here, Norton's Ghost has been used more
often, but as I said that's a matter of opinion, my choice
would be Norton's Ghost 2003

I mine definitely DriveImage2002 or 7

Version 7 saves disk image from within Windows
Version 2002 reboots to DOS, saves images, and
then reboots to Windows.
Restores by automatically rebooting to DOS
and reboots to Windows when completed.

Can be automated with its own scheduler.

Never had any problem with the Software.

OK, thanks guys.

Does drive image have the 2gig limit when imaging larger drives? I know
norton does because it uses dos, it spans the image if it is larger than
2gig. Does drive image 7 use dos?

Thanks again
Colin

Before jumping into DI7, you really should take a look at this:

FWIW, I agree with the other recommendation favoring DI2002 over DI7.

Mr. Langa's opinions aside, DI 7 works well and quickly. Also, there appear
to be no problems inherent with the .Net framework which would discourage
anyone from installing it.
