Get off your arse and get with the times!

Not to flame you, but you must be running an 8088 in a cave somewhere. Norton Ghost is the only way to go! If you load systems from scratch, then you need to either jump into this decade or hope that your employment has lots of job security. It takes a great amount of difference between hardware of the ghoster and ghosted to pose a problem when booting the new system. If you get the BSOD, then simply put your 2k or XP disc in and run a repair—it’s as good as new. Yes, there are some other programs available to do the same thing as Ghost (Casper, Acronis), but most don’t compress the image file. Most people don’t have hundreds of gigs of server space to put 5-10 80gig images of their different software loads. The fact that Ghost will compress these allows me to do weekly back-ups of the import machines in my company and store them on my portable USB drive. Speed is an issue for us, and because of USB2.0, we can Ghost to a local machine from image in under 2 minutes! Anyways, this was just to spout a little about why every productive tech needs Norton.

Interesting, you work for Symantec then?
