I used Ghost until they took too long to support writing the Image files
(when recording originally) TO NTFS drives.
I think I last used the 5x ver... Maybe 5.D?

He-heh, just a few days ago I cloned a laptop with Vista, using Ghost v10.
The user wasn't convinced it actually worked, until I erased his entire HDD,
