<strong>Hi again Freddy. I was backing up 2.45gb of data. I have deleted some of my progams then used my 3 discs to restore, and the programs were back in again, so that looks OK. I then tried creating some more discs by using the compressing method. This took 2 Discs, and I opted to make the discs bootable, but when I tried restoring them I got error messages and a sign saying it could not read the file. Again they wouldn't boot. So that was no good. I still think it has something to do with NTFS. I think that Drive Image has got around the NTFS problems OK but it is quite expensive, compared to Ghost, and the trial download is about 20mb, much too big for my dial up connection. Thanks again for your help.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">you are winning , good .

what are u using to make bootable?

as i said i was,nt using ntfs (xp) ,,,i do know that if i re do my 2k - which is now ntfs , it looks at a non exist drive ?

make a win98 bootable disk and cut it down (as shown above and add d:\ghostXX in autoexec if u want (im not sure how) but i shold be able to send u a image of my floppy boot , which u can expand to a floppy and use as your boot files ,

if u need u can e-mail me
