Roger, Hope you do not mind me coming into this thread (and changing the subject line), but I had always understood that the reason that Ghost and similar programs had to use DOS at one stage was that if the partition with the OS on it was being backed up there would otherwise be a problem with system files actually in use. I looked at Drive Image when owned by Powerquest and thought that the same thing applied. If this is no longer the case with Drive Image 7 I will certainly be interested in getting a copy. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Douglas On 19 Oct 2004 at 21:49, roger south wrote: > Hi Carol > > You mentioned in a post responding to Ali about the Norton Ghost needing > sighted help.
