I understand that, and it really p*ssed me off finding that writing to NTFS formatted images to HDDs isn't supported. NTFS support using optical media works fine, so this
might be an M$ issue.
The power of Ghost lies in the Ghost command line version (Ghost CLI) run directly from the CD (e.g. Sy

neither application can handle all of them perfectly.

I used Ghost until they took too long to support writing the Image files
(when recording originally) TO NTFS drives.
I think I last used the 5x ver... Maybe 5.D?
Acronis captured the moment, offered a GREAT competitive discount/upgrade
and the rest is history...

#x27;s great, but don't knock Acronis when you
clearly haven't given it the level of research and detail that you proclaim
one must give Ghost to make a fair assessment.

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, in
He-heh, just a few days ago I cloned a laptop with Vista, using Ghost v10.
The user wasn't convinced it actually worked, until I erased his entire HDD,
and then ghosted it back from the DVD.
As impressive the age of Ghost might appear to some, it's still the #1 cloning
util.
All the faults an
rarely use ghost from a fdd but on occasion have to, only problems ever had wad
usually the disk.drives fault.
I have boot cd's made with ghost and zap installed.
Only tried once but ghost would not clone a vista install.

AcronisTI is currently 2009/ver12.
If you watch the sales/deals, upgrades are as little as $4 or around $15.
Call (or e-mail) them and strike a deal with them...
AFTER you are a registered user, you can D/L the bootCD ISO from
the "your registered programs section" of the Acronis Support WEB site

Been using ghost for years and like it's simple interface but newer versions do
not seem to be able to just make a boot disk for this purpose. On occasion
ghost just does not see the drives or whatever and does not work. When I find
that I use Acronis True Image 10. It so far always works but is
