Re: GHOST2002 No Work on XP




I have no experience with Ghost - their newer versions must have this
feature also, but with Acronis True Image, I can boot a rescue CD to
restore my image.  So I'm not even in Windows at that point, so don't
care if it's Windows 98, ME, XP, whatever.  Of course, True Image or
Ghost would have to have drivers built-in for the external burner.
Don't know if it would work but I'm guessing it would.

Andrew,
I have been useing Ghost since its original version way back.
Then upgraded to GHOST PRO, then to Ghost2002.   They maybe
have a sequel to Ghost2002 that can handle winxp/pro.
After installing GHOST on your machine it then permits you to
create a Floppy  that has Ghost.PE and everything needed on the
Floppy to either store or restore an Image to just about any kind
of external device you have.  Or you can create and restore your
C: Drive ty partioning it anc createing a partition on it as d:
then can save the image to D: if you wish or any other media.
Seems that Winxp/Pro however creates and error of some kind
so will have to work it out or find later version of GHOST.
