It's more likely that Drive Image will replace Ghost than that Ghost

I've been using Drive Image 2002 with XP Home and now with SP2.

Recently found out PowerQuest was acquired by Symantec. At some time
I will have to replace Drive Image. Tried to seach Symantec site for
info on Ghost. Not having much success.

1. Is there a website to get detailed info on Ghost?

I specifically want to know if Ghost supports networked drives and
does it provide the means to create a DOS boot disk with TCPIP drivers
supporting networked drives to recover system in event of HDD crash?
I am doing all this with Drive Image 2002.

I certainly hope Symantec does not replace ghost with Drive Image.
Pre-XP
DriveImage 2002 was very good. Post XP, and Drive Image 7 is a piece of
garbage. Ghost 2003 (which comes in Symantec's Systemworks 2004) is
excellent once you learn to use it. There is a lot more to it than the
tutorials lead you to believe.

The bought nortons ghost.

Someone in the xp general group told me that.


This is correct. Symantic bought both Ghost and Drive Image. They
are like some great, gelatinous monster from beyond the stars, its
endlessly multiplying tentacles grabbing up everything that comes
within their reach and consuming it. Come to think of it ... they
are like Microsoft.

For the technology and to kill a competitor, but not to replace Ghost,
IMO.
