Quote:will he be able to burn that image to DVD
Should be able to with any burning program that is not the 'drag-n-drop' type like InCD or Roxio's 'Drag to Disc' type programs.
Quote:and then use that DVD (DVD's) to restore his desktop in the event of a HD failure?
The 'Standard Ghost Boot Disk' that the Ghost Boot Disk Wizard creates for Ghost 2003 floppies will not work if the images were first created and save to the HHD, and then later burned to a CD or DVD. Ghost must add some imbedded code to an image file that is burned directly by Ghost to optical media that allows Ghost to use the Standard Boot Disk.
If the image file was not burned directly by Ghost to the optical media, then you have to add a DOS driver to 'config.sys' that mounts your optical drive (ex. 'oakcdrom.sys'--there are many others)--and there has to be the DOS companion driver 'mscdex.exe' in 'autoexec.bat' that assigns a drive letter to the mounted optical drives. Now Ghost will read those files just fine even if burned to the optical media by a third party burning program.
