Thanks, Stan for explaining limitation of Ghost 2003 with XP and lack ofaccessibility of Ghost 9. Stan writes as follows," Subject: Re: norton ghost 2003 Hi, You cannot restore your XP or 2000 operating system with Ghost 2003. It won't backup these operating systems correctly to permit a full restore from a backup. You can backup and restore your data, but in the case of a real emergency such as a hard disk failure, you'll have to install the operating system itself and then Ghost 2003, and finally your backed-up data and program files. Ghost 9 will permit a full restore of your operating system for Windows XP and 2000 without the need to re-install the operating system first. Unfortunately the full restore environment is basically "DOS", so you won't have speech unless you have a DOS screen reader and a speech device that functions in a true DOS environment. > Stan -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
