Is there any software out there that would allow me to ghost a win98 machine?

ghosting? Do you mean taking a complete back-up?

I know for a fact that the older version of Symantic Ghost, when it
was called Norton Ghost works perfectly. I used that up until I was
laid off in 2007 to reimage older computers using the older Windows 98
installation of my former company's POS software. It didn't matter if
it used Windows 98 or Windows Embedded. Actually, the disk we used to
boot the machines and run Ghost seemed to be using MS-DOS. Of course,
the machine with the images was running Windows XP professional. I
have no idea if Ghost would work under Win9X.

P.S. I'd like a free program that will do the same thing he's asking
so I can keep a backup on my 1TB system to quickly restore my own
win98SE computer. If anybody knows of one, please reply.

It's not the backing up, it's the restoring that is the important aspect
- you need to be sure that whatever you get will give you access to your
1TB system, from a boot floppy or CD; without this ability, the backup
won't be any use.

Norton Ghost 2003.

Available on Hiren's boot cd:

http://www.hirensbootcd.net/

You can download this torrent file which will let you make a
floppy-bootable version of Ghost (this is the way I use Ghost):

http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/343...17.TPB.torrent

I find that the easiest and fastest way to clone a drive is to have he
source drive as Drive-0 and connect the destination drive as Drive-1.
The destination drive is a blank hard drive (or one that you don't care
if it gets over-written).

Configure your bios boot order so that the floppy drive is the first
boot device, and then boot the PC from the ghost floppy disk. Follow
the instructions and let Ghost clone the source drive to the destination
drive. After it's done, disconnect the destination drive and do with it
what you want. Reconnect your CD-drive (if it was connected originally
as Drive-1) and you're done.

This will clone FAT-32 and NTFS drives. You can make an exact clone of
a win-XP drive this way.

Typical copy speed is about 500 to 1,500 mb/min (depends on motherboard
and hard-drive performance).

I actual have Norton ghost. Not sure of the version It is either
2000 or 2002. You might be able to find the disk on the web.

It will also work for xp sp3.

It is a little tricky to use ghost. Once, you get the hang up. You
shouldn't have any problems.

Note, do not use nt disk compression on XP for ghost to work
correctly and you cant have more then 3 primary partitions (Watch out
for hidden partitions).

I use the partition backup. The burn the copies to cd or save them
on a flash drive.
