	How do you image a C: drive that won't boot? May 6^th, 2008 at 11:45pm I have Ghost 2003, 9, 10, 12, Save & Restore and Shadow Desktop 3. I have a neighbor's computer that won't boot. I have an external hard drive. I want to "image" her C: drive before doing a Windows repair. How can I do this?

Ghost 2003 will do that. Use a regular boot floppy, or a bootable CD:

The drive must have power and be readable, but Windows doesn't have to boot, cuz Ghost 2003 works from DOS.

With Ghost 2003, your destination needs to be separate from your source:

Best to image to a separate physical hard drive in the same system.

Can also go to CD or DVD, but that's slower and less reliable.

If using SATA drives, you need the latest version of Ghost 2003, build 793:
