Default Ghosting a win98 machine

who where wrote:

Norton Ghost 2003.

Available on Hiren's boot cd:

http://www.hirensbootcd.net/


Which of the *many* CD versions available there would you suggest
for a straight 98SE system (no XP/Vista irradiation)?


Any version of Hiren's should have Norton Ghost 2003.

Note the following:

The ONLY time I ever use Ghost is when I want to clone a hard drive to
another drive. This requires the temporary connection of a second
(target or destination) drive to the PC in question. In this situation,
I boot from a floppy disk which has some form of DOS on it (not PC or MS
dos) and it automatically starts Ghost from the floppy.

I have never used Ghost as a windows app.

I don't mess around with cloning software that runs as a windoze app.

You might want to try "Copy-Wipe". A good utility to have in any case.

It does and it does not. Once you create a disk, delete the
unnecessary files, you can remove Norton's ghost but keep the floppy.

I use partition backup. They way I have my disk setup.
