Can anyone enlighten me on using Ghost. I have heard that one can use this to create images of our Hard Drive and use it in case of emergency. Please tell me how to use it

I have been using Ghost, Its good, when the system slowdown I just restore c: from back up. Reformat in just 5min.

with my new system .. The Ghost 8.0 wasnt working, So, I tried Acronis True Image 9.0 - this works even better.

Please everybody use NORTON GHOST 2003, it has always been the best version of ghost till now. Also the previous versions didn't support NTFS partitions. This version is truly amazing. its worth every penny.

Is it possible to use Norton Ghost 2003 with Win XP in NTFS? I have the SW but never used it. Also if the OS crashes, is it possible to restore it with the image in a previously made Ghost image CD? I am having original XP CD. Also is it necessary to activate XP again after restoring using Ghost?
