Using Norton Ghost 9 To Clone My C:\ Drive

[madjim- with the Lord]

I was doing some maintanance on my show machine and decided to test my hard drive backup system. I keep a second drive in the computer and have been using Norton Ghost 9 to make a copy (clone) of my C:\ drive to it years now. I have never had to use the second copy (hard drive) but decided to put it to the test. When I dsconnect the C:\ drive and restart the computer it does not boot from the second drive.

The only option in Ghost that I have not tried is the option to make the drive the system bootable drive. This tells me that Ghost will make my second drive the drive that the computer boots from but what will it do to my present C:\ drive? I don't want to change the setup of my original C:\ drive, I just want to copy it for backup.

How do I use Norton Ghost 9 to make a bootable copy of my C:\ drive that will stay installed on my computer for backup?

The Norton\Sytematic support system that I found was no help to me. Any help in this matter or information about using Ghost to clone a hard drive would be greatly appreciated. I must be missing something.

Thanks

Jim
