I don't use Norton Ghost but have Acronis True Image instead. There is
a downloadable trial which might give you an idea if it will work for
you. The version I have allowed me to make a bootable CD. I migrated
my Windows XP Pro installation from a drive that sounded like it might
be going out (turned out it wasn't) to a new larger drive. There are
specific instructions if anyone does this as the old drive has to be
deactivated so the new one will activate XP properly.
