Sp2 and Norton Ghost
A friend recently told me she couldn't use Norton Ghost after installing
SP2. Is this true? I have my HD ghosted but what good is that if SP2 will not allow a complete reinstall of everything back onto your HD? If you can boot using the Norton Ghost CD? FS........ |

Norton Ghost 9.0 works just fine with SP2 and all subsequent updates
installed. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Quote from: George Ankner "If you knew as much as you thought you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!"

But if you're asking whether it's true in general, the answer is no. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

It wouldn't make a difference. It doesn't NEED SP2, it just works well with
it. You want a current Ghost image after you install SP2. Why would you want to go back to an image where SP2 was not installed. A lot of work all over again to bring it up to current SP level. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Quote from: George Ankner "If you knew as much as you thought you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!"

We couldn't find anywhere in Ghost to remove folders we didn't want imaged so it did them all. And we can't use Direcway Satellite if we leave Norton Ghost installed. We have to uninstall it. We have 2 ISPs, one to upload and one to download (Satellite). FS............ |
