Title: No idea where to start and my brain hurts
Post by G.Reaper on Dec 17^th, 2010 at 11:31pm

I want to do a simple task of ghosting my drive, the more I read the less simple it gets.

Any suggestion on which Ghost to use?
First I am a newbie at this so simple is good
I can find the direction on the process depending on what version I will use.

I have XP pent4 3.0Ghz
no partitions
current C drive is WD 150G SATA
want to create a ghost on a WD 80G drive IDE using a USB

Really dont want to get into any of the problems I am reading about, have alot on the drive I want to protect.
Which Ghost should I use?

Thanks for any kind of help

@ G.Reaper

Get the latest. Ghost 15.

Rad has a guide for Ghost 12 which still applies to Ghost 15.

You need to create a One Time Backup (recovery point). There are no shortcuts. You have a lot of reading to do, including sections of the Ghost 15 userguide.

What problems are they?

By the way, your HD is partitioned. You have a C: partition.
