have you gone to the vender for update?You can even post your problem there.Someone else on this forum had aproblem with Norton ,his problem was with the boot not happening. I suggest the web site since he can't get his CPU to go pass bootup now.

when making your boot disk from the norton ghost wizard, use pc-dos and load the drivers for cd-roms.

I have been using Norton Ghost for several weeks now and it works perfectly. Create the boot disk from the program in Windows then reboot from those 2 disks. They will open up in the DOS that is installed during the creation and you just run the program from there.
I used the PC DOS that was offered by the program although I probably have MS DOS on my computer in Windows 98 and Windows XP. It hasn't hurt anything yet and I have made several Ghost Images.
Tonight, I Ghosted my computer and it included the C: Drive, A hidden partion for Windows XP and two hard drives. No problems.
Earlier in the week, I had to restore my machine twice while experimenting and the restores went perfectly in about 10 minutes each. Sure beats a weekend of restoration work.
