Or for $25 I got Acronis True Image which makes the boot disc for you and can backup
directly to CD/DVD. Added coolness factor it will incorporate other Acronis tools
into the boot CD like Disk Director.
Ghost? Partition Magic? BackupExec? All good products sold to a bad companies that
have bastardized them.

Hey FP,
Your message made me think a little further.
The boot disk used must have support for standard IDE ATAPI drives to be
able to burn images to CD/DVD. The primary force of Ghost is not any
longer (since v5.0, I believe) making an image to a HDD, but instead
making images to CD-R/DVD-R, including disk spanning, boot CD and all
that jazz.
If anyone has a mirror, I can provide a working boot floppy together
with instructions how to burn this onto a bootable CD that the computer
sees as an A:\ or C:\ drive. Jim E...?
The floppy was originally downloaded from bootdisk.com some years ago,
so knock yourself out.
Having everything one needs on a bootdisk, including complete O/S, is
not too bad. I'm writing this from such a disk ;)
