Norton Ghost not working on XP

sainit · 10-08-2006, 01:51 PM

Hello Everyone!!

Friends I got Norton Ghost software in my office. Size of this is only 630 KB.

Problem is that whenever I try to run this it displays a message
“Ghost can not be run on NT pls run this on DOS.”

I have window XP installed on my system.

I try to run it in safe mode with command prompt but still same message is coming.
So friends, Is there any way to use this software on windows XP?

Thanks

Boot using win 98 Setup CD or any 98 startup floppy Disk and in DOS, start the program!

Which version ? Norton ghost 9 /10 are huge, not 630 KB for sure. Might be ghost 8.x or 2003. U should be able to use ghost from a floppy or CD after booting the PC usin any boot CD (ghost older versions) as Vishal mentioned.
