Norton Ghost 10.0?

Question

I can't believe it has come to this... I tried Symantec but they have made themselves pretty much unreachable unless one is willing to pay dearly, minute per minute, to get some help. I have emailed them 4 times on the matter over the course of 4 weeks...no replies at all. It's not in my bulk folder either! So...hopefully someone out there has a good knowledge about the product.

I purchased Norton Ghost in case of a major problem, I could restore my system. But there is no way to really know how it performs until a problem actually happens. I went by word of mouth. Now that I have to restore my system, the blasted product will not do it.

This is what happens. My back up is located on an external hard drive driven by usb 2.0 but will do 1.0. I restart with the cd in the drive to get into the restore environment. It never does reach this restore environment. It gives me options to install 2.0 or other things but leads me to a dos prompt that never goes into a restore envirnment.

Answer 1

Norton Ghost you can get at these sites named after & don't bother about version like 10 you have written only if you don't have Vista. You can restore your system from within by choosing system restore in accessories> system tools. From your language I am compelled to understand that you want to reinstall your system. One thing you must keep in your mind that any ghost software will give you the back up of your installation CD or DVD on your Hard Disk. What you should do is to write those program on the CDs or DVDs than you will not find any problem. But you will get those files with an ISO extension & you must write them on CD or DVD by "copy saved project" command in CD or DVD burning software. No matter whether it is on USB 1 or 2 only the installation will very, 2 is faster. How can you restore from CD when you have back up on external hard drive & even after that you will have to change your BIOS setting to boot from external hard drive. If it is clear than OK if not feel free to contact me by email.

First of all, remember that Microsoft normal System Restore copies Only system registry (settings). Norton Ghost ALSO makes a copy of FILES (entire system, like, entire backup). When I used to have Ghost I restored a couple times and, while it saved my butt, I of course (stoopid me) neglected to backup some important file changes before restoring and lost the changes, heh heh. But that's another subject...

Yup, Norton's darned expensive for support, if you can get in touch with them at all!

I can't tell what happened in your case. Did you install NG recently? Is it asking that you re-install NG before you restore? and then getting itself into a hard place because it's trying to restore the system over top of itself and wiping itself out in the process of restoring? That's the best my uncreative mind can think of...

Answer 3

purely change in yet anothercontinual and restoration the image. GHO image could self-alter length-sensible to the newcontinual. or you may ghost your modern-day C: and then restoration the image on D:, and restoration back to C: in case you may.
