I should point out that no where did I mentioned that I 'backup' my data to a optical media. insert it and it boot it up, select restore and it did that! It didn't even care what the size of the new hard drive was smaller or larger than the orginal. To David H, yes Ghost 2003 did have an option where you could have Ghost installed on your DVD and the DVD became bootable. Win7 will not boot after making the edits. Enter these lines.Д«cdedit /set device boot (and press ENTER)Дon't use these edits if you have a SRP. If a UAC prompt is displayed, click the Yes button. Right-click on the Command Prompt item and select Run as administrator from the pop-up menu. To do this, click on the Start button, then All Programs, then Accessories. Start an Administrator mode Command Prompt. If you do these edits (below) prior to creating the Ghost 2003 image, the restored Win7 will boot from the same or a different HD. If you restore to a different partition offset on the same HD or restore to a different HD, a BCD Edit is necessary as Win7 won't boot. If you restore a Win7 Ghost 2003 image to the same partition it does boot wthout an issue. Why would you need to edit the BCD, restoring to a different hard drive? I thought Ghost 15 would take care of all the above requirements, but it looks like I should just get my money back and try Acronis True Image 2010 and see how that goes. Lastly, as I begin to move from XP to Windows 7 I would think that Ghost 2003 would be left behind do to incompatibilities in restoring Windows 7 files, etc.

and I end up with a fresh, clean install of all my files and programs as of the time that I created the image. This way, when I would pop in the first DVD in the series, the computer would boot from the first DVD, Ghost 15 starts up and I get to select 'Restore' and Ghost 15 does the rest.

I have no problem with that, if I could do that I would be happy, the part that's missing or I have not figured out how to do is how to make those images bootable or load Ghost restore function on the DVD at the same time.

Except you select the manual method of splitting the image into DVD size files so you can then burn the images to DVD. So much for that! Make DVD images on hard drive? If I understand you correctly, you are referring to the option where you can image a hard drive and store the image on the hard drive. I figure technology had moved forward enough where I could image a hard drive and still use the computer as it accomplished the task. The once the image was made the computer rebooted back to Windows XP. What I didn't like about Ghost 2003 was, even when you were imaging a USB drive the computer still had to shut off and reboot into 'DOS' mode and make the image. Well, like anything (most anything) else, I was thinking that things would be easier with Ghost 15.
