what is norton's ghost, a security system or ???

Answer 1

Norton's Ghost is a disk cloning program, originally produced by Binary Research, but purchased by Symantec in 1998. The Ghost program launched the market for disk-cloning software. The name Ghost originated as an acronym for "General Hardware-Oriented Software Transfer".

Murray Haszard wrote Ghost in 1996, building on experience with a parallel and serial file-copying program previously produced by Binary Research. Initially, Ghost supported only FAT filesystems directly, but it could also copy (although not resize) other filesystems by performing a sector copy. Ghost added support for the NTFS filesystem later in 1996, and also provided a program, Ghostwalker (DOS name: ghstwalk.exe), to change the Security ID (SID) that made Windows NT systems distinguishable from each other. Ghostwalker is also capable of modifying the name of the Windows NT-based computer from its own interface. Ghost added support for the ext2 filesystem in 1999 and for ext3 subsequently.

Binary Reseach developed Ghost in Auckland, New Zealand and, although a few functions (such as translation into other languages) now take place elsewhere, the main development and quality assurance remains in Auckland.

At the end of 2003, Symantec acquired its largest competitor, PowerQuest. It then released Norton Ghost 9.0 on August 2, 2004 as a new consumer version of Ghost, based on version 7 (the last major version produced by PowerQuest before being acquired by Symantec) of PowerQuest's DriveImage product. Norton Ghost 9 can only back up partitions, not entire drives and doesn't support direct cloning (without first backing up a partition and writing the image on a different partition). Ghost 9 is not backward compatible with previous versions of Ghost in that it won't restore GHO images created by Ghost 8 or earlier.

The internal project name Phantom designated a complete rewrite of the Ghost cloning engine at Symantec in Auckland. The Phantom project ran for about three years in parallel with the ongoing development of the Ghost code. Some parts of the Phantom code, such as the ability to write to NTFS filesystems from MS-DOS, got folded into the main Ghost product. Symantec released a prototype of Phantom as Ghost for Manufacturing in 2003.

Norton Ghost is a program that allows you to make an image of your computer's hard drive.

For example, you've just completed setup of your computer to the way you like it, installed all your favorite programs, etc.

If you then ran Norton Ghost it would let you create a ghost file named (example) BACKUP.GHO.

You could save this giant backup to DVD, another partition, external hard drive, etc.

Then, if your computer ever gets screwed up or infected by a virus, you could in a matter of a few simple clicks, restore that ghost image file to your hard drive and you'll be back to the exact point you were when you created the image.

That's great for a screwed up operating system, etc...but remember that your created documents from that time don't get re-imaged since the original ghost file you created is a snapshot in time.

Answer 4

Norton Ghost is not backup software, but hard drive imaging software. You can use Norton Ghost to create an image, a snapshot, of your hard drive. You can write this image to an external hard drive for example, burn it on CD or DVD, et cetera. If your computer would have any issues, you can restore the image which you made. Restoring the image will erase your entire hard drive and it will return your computer to the exact state it was in when you created the image. For example, you create an image using Norton Ghost now and one month later you decide to restore your computer. Every file which you saved in this month time will be lost when you restore the image, every update or application which you have installed in this month time will be gone again. You will have the same clean system as you had when you created the image one month ago.

The harbour-side town of Auckland is New Zealand's correct town and the vivid financial center of the nation, know it with hotelbye . Auckland can also be called the "City of Sails" and it sprawls out in helter-skelter style between Manukau Harbour (to the west) and Waitemata Harbour (to the east) with the small key city section correct beside the waterway. For some guests to New Zealand, Auckland is the idea of arrival, and several days washing up the national and outside attractions here ought to be on every tourist's to-do list. The monuments, museums, and artwork galleries here are some of the best in the country. The suburban coastline of the town is speckled with fine beaches, and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf supply a taste of New Zealand's magnificent national park landscape right on the city's doorstep. Auckland is definitely a city worth seeing.

Answer 9

God gave you like a shield so that demons don't harm you, but when you sin or do something spiritually wrong, you open yourself up to demonic influence. For example, chanting mantras leads to demon possession. It's not the words that get you possessed; it's the rhythm. Buddhists worship fake mountain Kailash in Tibet inside which demons have a UFO base. Barcode is Druid black magic curse. Mediums are shown pictures and given thoughts by demons. Demons move the Ouija board. Demons=Ghosts=Spirit Guides=Aliens. Demons never do good. Demons fly in UFOs. Crystal balls, tarot cards, barcodes, tattoos, talismans, masks, skulls, amulets, etc. attract demons. Meditation, chanting mantras, and astral projection lead to demon possession. Casting spells is asking demons for help. Ask Greek Orthodox priest to help you out (blessing your house, etc.) Most dreams and thoughts are from demons. To break any curse, pray slowly the Psalm "the Lord is my light and my salvation" 40 times a day for 40 straight days. That's 1600 times in total. Also, if you're in any trouble (like sleep paralysis), scream: JESUS ! Jesus will come back to end the flying antichrist's rule when this antichrist conceives a thought in his evil mind that he 666-isotope-ray-lasered everyone. Antichrist's minions came up with Dec. 21 in order to desensitize people to the real events predicted in the Bible. Antichrist is 0% God and 100% man. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old. He flies. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's pale with red eyes. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light. 666ed people go to permanent hell. 666 is given by lasers (isotope rays) on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card (world passport). Reject 666. Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Those who reject 666 will go to heaven. Also, their direct ancestors will be saved from hell. Dinosaurs live under our level. They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Again, 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card (world passport). Police will chip and isotope ray people on highways. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost. If you're about to be marked, scream: "Lord, have mercy!" three times. Go hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666. After death, 3 days you here, then you're shown hell and heaven from 3rd until 9th day after death, then from 9th until 40th day demons accuse you of sins; that was before, now people just straight out go to temporary hell because of Social Security; but 666ed people go to permanent hell right away; 666 is given when people stretch hands to accept the evil plastic card. Before Jesus preached in hell, all people (except Enoch and Elijah) went to hell. Now, aborted kids go to hell for 33 and a half years. After crucifiction, Jesus preached in hell. Those who believed, got out of hell. Suicide leads to hell. Maximum torture is at the bottom (ice hell) for biggest sinners. Stalin is head in boiling water. When he tries to get out, demons push him back in. Others stand up to knees or up to chest in boiling water. There are different punishments in hell. If you didn't do anything bad, you're in a dark room. Also, hell is not permanent now. So, it's possible to get out, especially if you're prayed for and your relatives give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gitie.ru%2FRaznoe%2FMitarstva.html&act=url http://fatheralexander.org/booklets/english/life_after_death.htm http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2F3rm.info%2F28475-molitva-za-usopshih-na-arhangela-mihaila-19-sentyabrya-i-21-noyabrya-apostol-ioann-bogoslov-i-igumen-guriy.html&act=url
