Hi Carol,
Let me try to explain.
Norton Ghost takes what can only be described as a mirror or
your hard drive at the point you produce the "Ghost" copy.
You can then take a completely empty hard drive, and copy
this "Ghost" on to that drive, and it will be exactly the
same as the drive it was copied from in every way.
There is however one caveat to add. The new disk drive will
obviously have a different serial number, even if it is of
the same make and model. That may cause some software to
require to be re-activated in some way shape or form. JAWS
being the obvious contender, and most likely Windows XP as
well.
George.

OK, so having re-installed Windows via the normal means and
your own personal data, are you saying that you were able to
restore programmes you'd installed from backup, rather than
putting them in from scratch?
Sorry if my understanding is a bit dim on this.

Hi Carol
The machine never crashed it was just cluttered and
little irritations had started to happen so I did a full
back up onto my second drive in 2 sections. The data first
and then everything else. The data I would need but the rest
was for insurance as I'd never done a re-install before. I
reformatted my C drive and re-installed Win XP and all my
applications. Then I did the data. Back-ups and restore of
the data were done in Windows so my Supernova was
operational all the time. I don't know what Ghost does that
the WinXP back up facility doesn't do except for some
advanced stuff I wouldn't understand anyway. So my copy of
Ghost stays where it is, in the cupboard.

Roger,
So you're saying you re-installed Windows,
then did an XP backup. Then, you crashed . . . or what!
I can see you could re-install anything if
you hadn't crashed badly but, if you can't get into the
system, what then?

I do all my backups using the
Windows XP facility and it works in Windows so screen
readers are fully functional. I have done full copies of my
hard drives when I did a clean re-install and lost
absolutely nothing. I do in fact have a copy of Ghost and
just do not like it.
