You will not be able to Ghost C: from within C: Ghost gives you the opportunity to make a boot disk which contains the Ghost .exe and from here you can save your .gho image to another partition or to a CD-RW (depending on which version you are using). If you can wait until this evening when I am at my own computer I can give you switches if you still need them.

I'll post back.

Boot with the boot disk you created and then select "Drive" (from) and "Image" (to). At each of those questions, just enter the appropriate drive letter.

It will then create and image of your drive.

Next, to restore, just reverse the order. Select your CDR drive when asked the "from " question, and the "D" drive when asked for the destination.

It will then put that image on your "D" drive.

Anything else that you now have on the "D" drive will be gone and replaced by the image. It wipes out everything else on the destination drive.

The "to" question threw me for a while because the available drives are in that little box at the top with a down arrow on it. My CDRW was not showing until I hit the arrow and then could pick the destination.
