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


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.



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.
