Restoring Drive Image From Norton Ghost 9

[Lavert]

After formatting your hard drive and not installing operating system, can
you restore drive image using Norton Ghost 9?

Dont know...but Acronis gets you to make a "Recovery"CD and restore the
image after booting with recovery CD...
Does Ghost have that??

Thanks for your reply. Norton Ghost 9 CD has a built in capability to boot
computer into a recovery environment.
I have a drive backup image already created, but was not sure if I could
restore the drive without the OP on it. Thanks again.

Your question has nothing at all to do with Windows and
everything with Northon Ghost. Check the Ghost FAQs -
I'm sure your question is answered there.

Bet the answer you're looking for is in here:

The predecessor to Ghost 9 was Powerquest Driveimage 7.0 version. In that
version, and many other imaging softwares doing restoration, you could not
restore the OS partition using it in the windows environment. You have to
boot from boot media containing the imaging software, select the image file
to restore, remove the OS partition, restore the image, all within the
booted imaging software environment. You can, however, restore a non-OS
resident partition with the imaging software in the windows environment.
The only exception I can think of is if a 3rd party app is installed in that
partition and that application is opened.

Yes...use the Norton CD..prior to formatting, you should use the CD and verify it can find your image. You may have to use the keyboard to select all available drives/partitions especially if you've a usb mouse.
