How to use Ghost 2003 with XP sp2

| Following the basic directions here http://tinyurl.com/yd6gby as far as
which files needed to be on the disk, I found my Win 98SE boot disk
and formatted a floppy with Win 98SE system, then put the autoexec,
other files and ghost.exe on the disk.
This method SHOULD also work with PC-Dos or one of the other Dos available.
The method outlined below has been verified to work on 3 different
machines using XP sp2 (2 of the machines have XP sp2 direct from the CD,
the other machine was an upgrade from the Microsoft site ).
Boot the machine with the Win 98SE disk and have at it. I just did an
image/restore on the machines with XP sp2 on it. Previously, Ghost 2003
was screwing up the partitions. Now there is no problem.
I used the ghost.exe off my disk (8/14/2002 ) and it worked perfectly.
You need to boot off the Win 98SE disk, do your image, then MANUALLY
verify the image. I have not been able to get the disk to automatically
verify the image. To restore the image, boot off the floppy, then restore.
Hope this helps aleviate some problems.

| I boot one of my WIN XP SP2 machines into DOS (from a floppy or CD),
run ghost.exe with (many) command-line options and back up my NTFS
(primary) partition to my FAT32 partition using GHOST 2003.
I do not use the installed "user-friendly" version of GHOST 2003 to
initiate image-creation.
Then I boot Win XP SP2, and burn the images that reside on the FAT32
partition to CD/DVD.
I believe the "user-friendly" GHOST 2003 can create bootable floppys
with PC-DOS, so you don't need to use files from Windows 98.
One of the reasons some people might prefer Norton Save And Restore is
that it is more Windows-friendly and easier to automate backups.
