Hi:
As far as I know, Norton Ghost 2003 is the only program that makes a
"Bootable Recovery CD/DVD" I have ordered another copy off the
Internet surplus market for $8.95 plus USPS in case I lose my original.
As far as I know all others including Acronis require that you boot from
the program CD first then load your image Set, and yes they work. I have
always suggested that you can make your own customized Bootable
Recovery Set and then throw away the OEM set. In actual fact you need
to keep the OEM set only to have access to the bundled programs and
drivers you can extract therefrom.in case you need to reload them. With
most new machines you can make a Bootable Recovery set on one DVD
but it will take several CDs. It will tell you when to insert additional
DVDs
or CDs if needed. A recovery takes about ten minutes per GB. Much faster
than reinstalling Windows and you can include your programs as well.
A Norton 2003 Bootable Recovery DVD will Boot (restart) the PC and
reload everything that you included in the image when the Set was made.
After you make these DVDs or CDs you can run an integrity check to
confirm if they are any good. I don't bother anymore if the completion
log reports "success". A Norton recovery set usually works better than
the OEM set and it recovers what you had on your PC and not what the
OEM thought you should have.
When you use an OEM Bootable Recovery Set, It reloads the PC with
exactly what was on it the day you brought it home. Very unsatisfactory.
What happens to all the OEM junk you got rid of and the new stuff you
added? Junk is back, new stuff is gone.
One should put some junk on a partition, create an image, then recover
the image, to give himself confidence that it does work.
