In Ghost 9, you can boot from the CD and restore an image. I have not tried to make an image after booting off of the CD. I have Acronis 7.0 and Ghost 9. Ghost 9 is faster than Acronis 7.0 and has better compression for me. I have heard that Acronis 9.0 is faster than Ghost 9. I recently bought both Acronis 9.0 and Ghost 10. Once I get a little time, I plan to install both and see which one I like better. I'll post the results when that happens.

My laptop didn't even offer the option of a floppy drive (except external, of course) or a zip drive. The DVD/CD-R/W, etc., are so ubiquitous that floppies have gone the way of the dinosaur.

Very intrusive and unstable. I don't even keep Ghost installed. I use it and remove it. The latest version doesn't have a floppy disk based system so I'm pretty peaved about that. I think the only reason for it is that the are worried about people being able to use it on more than one machine. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust I don't like Symantec products and I did not have good experiences trying to use Ghost (which I purchased and gave away), so I looked for an alternative and found TrueImage, which I like very much and which allows you to use a broad array of media for images. I've heard some negatives about the latest build, so I haven't yet installed it, but on the whole I've been highly satisfied with it. Charlotte Foust
