Ghost runs under DOS, not windows and makes an exact image of the drive, bit for bit.
It is the defacto of backup utilities for power users.

I knew that [img]smile.gif[/img] You gotta do it in DOS, as so to have all the files 'unlocked' so you can copy the OS.
I used DOS so much and know it by hand. I always told people in the 90's to start off learning DOS. I used a nifty proggie called 'List' and it was awesome.. and d.com (enhanced dir command). [img]smile.gif[/img] I still use it a lot in XP, but it's not the same... sniff! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyone remember the command format C: /autotest ? Wasn't in the manual or listed anywhere. What it did was format without asking. you type THAT in, and when you hit enter, it's over.
I was shocked at how FAST NGhost cloned the drive! It usually took me more than 2 hours to copy some of the forum dirs that had 30,000+ files in them (doing this in Win2000's explorer).
I copied everything (4Gb) in 17mins!!!
