- Completely Worthless and Worst than Useless
In these days of being able to drop and drag files onto external hard drives and flash drives, it is very easy to back-up data files.One does not need a special program for this, although the nag feature in Norton Ghost may actually get you to do it.However, backing up programs and applications for Windows is impossible by simple copying; too many copyright restrictions, etc.I had several expensive and older programs that I wanted to keep safe.The solution:make a disc image or a ghost! ...

- It Works!
I've scoured the earth for a program which will reliably clone my PC's hard disk.I've tried products from CMS, Farstone, and Norton Ghost 14, all to no avail.Norton Ghost 12, on the other hand, worked perfectly.I made a fully recoverable backup in less than 30 minutes.I did a recovery dry run on a backup disk drive which booted perfectly. Hallelujah!
Rating: - Norton Ghost - don't buy, look elsewhere
Many of the instrustions are poorly written. On making the (most have recovery disk) the computer crashes to the blue screen of death. very poor support.Actually no support - the details I will not go into. Look elsewhere for a better program.
Rating: - Blue screen of death bad_pool_header - no help from norton
The title says it all. Every time I try to do a backup to an external usb drive with 450G or space I get a blue screen and the bad_pool_header error.NO help with out cash at Symantec.I have XP Pro with 2M of ram.

- Resources Hog, if it Works at All
I bought Norton Ghost 12.0 to back-up my Vista OS PC about 6 months ago. Once I figured out the cumbersome interface and strange ways to configure the back-ups -and I consider I have above average knowledge of software and PCs-, an update Norton delivered about December time made Ghost to stop working, having me to uninstall it using a Norton removal tool, which by the way also removed the Norton AV program, forcing me to reinstall everything again.
After that, it worked fairly well ... Read More
