Hello, collected wisdom of the Paris world-
My best friend Bonnie just got her new IBM laptop. She bought Norton Ghost
but has never used it, wanting to wait until her new laptop arrived and she
could make a clean install without it ever having been on the internet. So,
she's ready.
Ghost thing has two versions, 10 and 2003. Which should she use? I've heard
(can't remember where) that older versions of Ghost were better than the
newest one, which I assume is 10.
I just read all the old Paris posts mentioning Ghost, and http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
is mentioned. Looks like a good thing. The reference to it said it works
with Ghost 8. This seems to be no longer availiable.
Any suggestions, ideas, etc? Bonnie's ready to do something...

(Although I have an XP machine, and I think now I'm going to try that http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
thing myself...)

I'm not 100 % sure Steve, but I believe version 10 and 2003 are the same. I
have version 2003 and have used it since 2003 without problems to make
backups of Win98/ME/XP on CD/DVD. But I'm using it only in Dos mode, not
Windows at all. I don't think these "old" versions will work inside
Vista(there's a new version for that, called Ghost Solution Suite), but if
you make a Dos Ghost floppydiskette from an installed Windows 98/ME/XP
version, I believe you can use it to make backups of Vista too(if there is a
floppy disk station in the laptop). But allways remember to check if the
burning is OK. There is a menu for that too in Dos mode.
Say hello to Bonnie:-)

Erling-
Bonnie got her new laptop with XP - so she should be able to do it the same
way you have.
thanks for the reply!
