Has anybody got Ghost 8 to work with Vista, I boot into the ghost program
with no problems. I can see both of my drives but when I go to create an
image to disc, my other drive doesn't not show, only the A drive shows, any
suggestions? Thanks

1. Ghost 8 is not Vista compatible

2. Ghost 9 is not Vista compatible

3. You can only "recover" from a Ghost 'RECOVERY Environment CD - hence
it's name.

4. You create an image from with Vista, after you have installed a
"compatible" version of Ghost

I doubt you'll get Ghost 8 working on Vista or Ghost 9. I'd move to the
newest and I do always try to use older software when it will work. The
newest is

Thanks for the help, so it lookes like if I only want to make an image of my
drive to restore I need this version Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 ?

Acronis TrueImage HOME Edition (version 10) works fine and is a bit less
expensive.

And, you can also create an image while booted into their CD - which you
create after you install the program in Vista.

Not sure about the pricing but as an user I can confirm that Acronis is way
better than Symantec. I use both the workstation and the server edition and
there is no comparison.
Have a nice day.

Acronis rocks AND it's not Symantec. (yet.....) :-)

Symantec is really a "kiss of death"; Norton products, when they were "Peter

the other great software suites made for Win95 etc. Now I would not touch
any Symantec/Norton products for any reason; once you install the Symantec
AV suite you have only one option: format and re-install.
I used Delrina FaxWorks and TalkWorks for years, after Symantec bought it I
had only problems and BSOD.
I really hope that Acronis will not follow the same pattern.

I haven't had any success getting Ghost 10 to work on Vista. Yes it
installs, but after that you are banging your head against a brick wall.

Personally i use Acronis true Image 10

I downloaded the trial of Acronis either I'm missing something or just use
to ghost but it says my backup drive has to be totally empty to put the
image there, I have a 111gb second drive partitioned into 4 sections with
one section totally empty for the image but only the whole drive shows
during the image wizard, not all 4 partitions, what am I missing or not
understanding? Thanks again

Forget Ghost, use Drive Snapshot http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/home.htm
.. It's far more better.

Ghost 11 is working here

Sounds like you are trying to use drive copy. That mandates that the 2nd
drive be clean, and of equal or greater size (capacity).

You want backup. You can then backup only your system partition (your
choice) to another drive. The image is stored as a file on the backup drive.

Fine. Can you also "create" an image when booting from their "Recovery"
environment CD?

Michal, does Drive Snapshot support Vista? There is nothing on the website
that indicates that it is currently Vista compatible. At least Acronis true
Image 10 'is' vista compatible
