Yes

[Beavis]

do you have an extra, external drive or enough space on your c: drive to make a back up instead of "copy drive" ???

if so try the "back up my computer" option, pick a folder in your c: drive to store the info on, then let it back up.

then go to restore option, pick the backed up file and restore it to your new drive.



this is all if you want to test

I should be able make a bootable copy of my C:\ drive once a week with no extra steps, that's one of the features that Norton said Ghost will do. My extensive testing shows that Ghost does not provide this feature. I've spent too much time on this as it is. I'm through with Norton Ghost. I'll put my efforts into Acronis since it works for everybody.

Thanks for the suggestions.
