Dear Dorothy
Working at a University, we ghost machines so that
a) it is quicker than loading all of the software on each computer
individually.
b) we can restore computers that have problems back to a working state.
We do have JAWS on our computers and I have ghosted successfully - I
didn't have to do anything different to what I normally do when I ghost
to get it working.
On stand alone computers I tend to use system restore (so I can work the
clock back to a point when the programs were known to be working
successfully). This is partly because system restore is quicker and
partly because I would run out of space to store all the copies of the
hard drives.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Ghosting when and what
I wonder if someone on list who is knowledgeable maybe George can
explain
a bit about ghosting, there are times when it is the right thing to do.
In
my case I knew nothing about it I knew that 3 Engineers from the Makers
had
been under a three year on site warranty, this after a HD failure. first
Engineer unknown to me put on XP Professional on my XP standard Pc, I
couldn't register Jaws it not being professional I knew only it wouldn't
work so bought a much higher version of Jaws one that did not have a
floppy
thinking floppy burnt out 2 more Engineers came all sent by company,
things
went from bad to worse I was using Jaws in demo Mode but struggling to
tell
the Jaws list what was happening. In the end it was spotted by a Rnib
Volunteer Tony Berry now retired. I was sending messages to a friend
long
distance away about any word I heard engineer utter! Message was coming
back saying NO, No Good that is Ghosting make them take it off and
reformat.
I will spare you all the rest as some who have been on list may well
remember. I will leave out awful things like Interceptors and drivers,
so
if any person can just give an example of when Ghosting is right thing
to do
and when not, please do.Regards Dorothy
