Question on Norton's Ghost, Windows XP will not let you boot from a external
drive, so if you have a hard drive failure either from a windows file being
corrupted or by any other reason how are you restoring the ghosted files
using Norton's on a external hard drive?
I have had this kind of problems when trying to down load and install
Windows Critical files and they hang up or JFW stops talking and the
computer freezes up, then Windows is corrupted, my sighted helper tell me
that they can not boot to the External drive.
I have used Casper the back up program and it is not a fault with Casper it
is the fact that Windows XP will not boot to a external drive, not sure
about Windows 98.
From what I read Casper recommends you have a second drive physically in
your computer and with this the booting question is a moot point since
Windows will boot to another internal hard drive.
How does Norton's Ghost program differ from this and how do you handle the
problem.
I would welcome a positive piece of advice for this question, I would look
for any kind of advice on this question. would it not be wonderful if we
could work this using JFW! This is related to JFW since once the computer
dies I do also!

Hi Nicki, There's a lot to say about safe drive backup. I would recommend Norton Ghost from Symantec to clone your hard drive. This product will help you create a disk image of your entire drive and have it available on a few CDs whenever needed. It will take just 15 to 25 minutes to restore your entire drive, but you will have to re-install Jaws. Naturally, you would have to clean your current drive from any virus, spyware, etc, prior to any backup. Normally, conscientious vendors clone their computers at birth and provide recovery CDs to their clients. Computer users might have to do the same thing sometimes when they buy a compatible PC, but it's better to clone a hard drive prior to any Internet and email configuration. This can save a lot of time and money in today's crazy world. Good luck! Adam --- Nicki Keck <favorite.blend@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
hi all, I am looking into buying a backup drive for my computer. My husband told me there is software you can buy that works with any of these drives, and that may be a better option than just getting what comes with the drive itself. I don't have much experience with backup drives, and I don't know what the name of this software is that you buy separately; however, my uqestion is simply if you have used backup drives and/or software with them, which do you find work best with JAWS and are fairly accessible? Thanks.
