I've never used Ghost, so I don't know much about it. But I may need to get a new system drive and I was wondering if it was possible to run Ghost on the current drive, install a new one and then be able to put my backed up system onto the new drive? I don't want to have to re-install all that stuff again.

Yes, you can image your old drive to CDs or DVDs and then restore to the new drive. Or you can install the new drive as a slave and image directly from the old drive to the new one, then physically swap them.
