Norton ghost 2003?? I was going to purchase this to make an image of my drive but I read that it can not back up my disk to a USB drive?? I have an external USB harddrive and I want something that I can use to do a drive image so if I have problems i don't have to reninstall the whole system.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) this is so common a problemwith GHOST 2003 that Symantec, the makers of GHOST, offer a free download tofix things. Go to their support website and look for it.After you get things working right, make a the floppy disk set and in thefuture use it to do all GHOST work, except for GHOST Explorer, which can berun safely from the windows level. I have used the floppy method for yearswith GHOST 2000 thorugh 2003, and all were 100% reliable. (By the way, ifyou get motivated, it is possible to make a bootable CD from the GHOSTfloppy set, but it does take some patience and some 3rd party CD-writingsoftware.)'Kamal' wrote in messagenews:[email protected] tried to make a backup of the D: on to the G: using Norton Ghost.

I've created andrestored images with it from cdr's, cdrw's and hard drives. Were youcreating an image or cloning one disk to the other? If you were imagingthen there is no reason that Ghost would screw up any drive it was sendingan image to. Now if you were cloning you may have picked the wrong disk.'

You shouldn't fiddle with the XPboot files at all: make sure they are set back to original config.Sounds as if the autoexec used by Ghost or else the data in theVirtual Partition created by Ghost is still active, as the backupaborted. If so, it will always boot into the win98 screen (PC orMSDOS) until removed.I assume you removed the Ghost boot floppy or CD before rebooting?If not, do so, and you will boot up in XP.If you did take out the boot floppy or CD, I am not sure how to stopthe PCDOS booting. I suggest you read the handbook to see if itcovers the situation - normally I would say visit the Symantec website, but if you can't boot to XP that's a no-brainer.Good luck.-Regards,Peter Wilkins.

At least one can expect to sort out wether it's Ghost or WinXp that is the problem.but without insulting remarks about the quality of the question, which BTW most replies found easy enough to do. NewUser could be 'new' to computing not just new to WinXP.heck I find things happening in WinXP that just make me shake my head.like the way you remove programs from startup.why the heck did MS decide that using Msconfig (like in Win98)was too simple and make removing a program from startup a PITA.As an aside, msconfig is available in XP and removing items from Startupis quite easy.

Ghostwas originally written by a small independent software company from NewZealand, Binary Research Limited, in 1998, and it was sold and becameprominent on it's own, well before being acquired by Symantec.Second, Symantec (Gordon Eubanks company) bought Peter Norton computinga very, very long time ago - I think in the late 1980's, or, if not, inthe early 1990's. For all practical purposes, it's absurd to refer to'Norton' and 'Symantec' as if they were separate companies.Greg R wrote: On Tue, 7 Sep 2004 13:42:28 -1000, 'NoNoBadDog!' wrote: Snip,Ghost has been a Norton product since it'sinception, and became Symantec property when Peter Norton sold his companyto Symantec.Bobby Look June 1998 Binary Research Limited (Ghost) Acquisition Greg R http://www.angelfire.com/in4/computertips/.
