So how long did it take to 'verify' the backup CD's? Was
this in the 'test' mode?

When I did this test with the Take Two program it also asked
for the last
disk, did a quick read to verify that it was the correct
disk, then asked
for the first disk and started to verify. I had used CD-R
disks made in an
external drive then used the internal drive to run the verify
test after
booting from a startup floppy made with the Take Two program.
This is how
the Take Two program works and was very simple. Maybe the
Ghost program
works the same way but just doesn't give clear instructions.

I think you meant it does NOT load them. :-) I tried it
too, made the CD's ok, but when I went to do a 'test' restore
from DOS, it never found the files on the CD's! I used cdRW
disks, and the program says you CAN use cdRW disks, but I
don't think that is the case. It just 'sat' there searching,
searching, on and on for 10 minutes then I stopped. The
program from what I understand, tells you to insert the LAST
of the volume of the backup CD's. I take that to mean (in my
test case) CD # 2 of 2. The program just kept repeating
itself asking for the CD with the data on it. So, I put in
disk # ONE of two, and it DID seem to see the backup file
then because that's when the program looked like it was
'working', or doing something at least, but after 10 minutes,
15 minutes, etc, it still looked like nothing was going on
other than the blinking cursor in the program as if it could
not read from the cdrw drive. The light on the cdrw drive
was flashing at the time.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal in the test mode and it
just takes a lot longer than 15 minutes to test the backup
CD's, or is this not normal operation and the program really
cannot read from cdRW disks (only cdR disks)?

Well I got time this weekend to try and do a restore but the
program does
load the proper drivers for my CD Drive. Therefore cannot
restore. Will
play somemore with it, someone recommended Power Quest Drive
Image & Drive
Copy. I went to Power Quest web site & read about drive copy
& it claims it
will clone to a removable drive like ZIP ect. So I am
thinking about trying
that. Guess I wasted $70.00 on ghost for now, unless I put a
second HDD in
& clone to it.
