ghosting? Do you mean taking a complete back-up?

I know for a fact that the older version of Symantic Ghost, when it was called Norton Ghost works perfectly. I used that up until I was laid off in 2007 to reimage older computers using the older Windows 98 installation of my former company's POS software. It didn't matter if it used Windows 98 or Windows Embedded. Actually, the disk we used to boot the machines and run Ghost seemed to be using MS-DOS. Of course, the machine with the images was running Windows XP professional. I have no idea if Ghost would work under Win9X. P.S. I'd like a free program that will do the same thing he's asking so I can keep a backup on my 1TB system to quickly restore my own win98SE computer. If anybody knows of one, please reply. |

If anybody knows of one, please reply. It's not the backing up, it's the restoring that is the important aspect - you need to be sure that whatever you get will give you access to your 1TB system, from a boot floppy or CD; without this ability, the backup won't be any use. -- J.

Is there any software out there that would allow me to ghost a win98 machine? Norton Ghost 2003. Available on Hiren's boot cd: http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ You can download this torrent file which will let you make a floppy-bootable version of Ghost (this is the way I use Ghost): http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/343...17.TPB.torrent I find that the easiest and fastest way to clone a drive is to have he source drive as Drive-0 and connect the destination drive as Drive-1. The destination drive is a blank hard drive (or one that you don't care if it gets over-written). Configure your bios boot order so that the floppy drive is the first boot device, and then boot the PC from the ghost floppy disk. Follow the instructions and let Ghost clone the source drive to the destination drive. After it's done, disconnect the destination drive and do with it what you want. Reconnect your CD-drive (if it was connected originally as Drive-1) and you're done. This will clone FAT-32 and NTFS drives. You can make an exact clone of a win-XP drive this way. Typical copy speed is about 500 to 1,500 mb/min (depends on motherboard and hard-drive performance). |

I actual have Norton ghost. Not sure of the version It is either 2000 or 2002. You might be able to find the disk on the web. It will also work for xp sp3. It is a little tricky to use ghost. Once, you get the hang up. You shouldn't have any problems. Note, do not use nt disk compression on XP for ghost to work correctly and you cant have more then 3 primary partitions (Watch out for hidden partitions). I use the partition backup. The burn the copies to cd or save them on a flash drive. Greg |
