Title: Time for a new version of Ghost? Post by G_Man on May 6th, 2008 at 6:20pm
Well, I've just ordered a new computer...but it still is going to be running XP Pro....so, my question is:
do I keep using Ghost 2003....or is it advisable to use a newer version of Ghost? My new computer will have two internal HDs + 1 external e Sata drive. My intent is make a Ghost image of the 3 drives onto an external USB HD (which is my current workflow...but only I'm only backing up the "c" drive on my existing computer) And finally....is the idea of (maybe) eventually upgrading/downgrading to Vista a big "no no" in the world of Ghost? What do you all recommend? What should I be aware/afraid of? thanks in advance, G_man |

Personally? I don't see your problem.
If you're using Ghost 2003, Build 793, it should work just fine for you on the new PC. I use it from a boot disk, to backup my XP on SATA2 drives and Vista Ultimate on a SATA2 drive. I have no problems at all. But, don't try to use a build that is less than 793. Cheers mate! Shadow 8-) |
