Summary: Waste of good storage media
Review: Tried to clone a laptop HD to CDRs on a drive that worked fine in the past - all CDs that Ghost wrote to were completely unreadable (tested in 3 different systems running Mac OS, XP, and Linux). Plus, Ghost's actual backup system feels like it should have been phased out years ago, and is in no way easy to use, or to diagnose what went wrong after the software messes up your backups. Some software pays for itself, but this actually costs you more as you waste CD after CD trying to get it to work.

Summary: Ghost will haunt your computer
Review: What a piece of junk. I was using Ghost 2002 for several years, and it did do the job. During that time I was not totally happy as I always had to delete my backup before I created a new one; plus I'd always have to check on some options otherwise I'd be stuck checking on my machine every 15 minutes. I recently upgraded to Windows XP, and found out that 2001 version doesn't work with it. So I had to pay for a 2002 upgrade. And wouldn't' you know it, the stupid thing didn't work either. Oh it installed all right, but I kept getting an error message that wouldn't' allow me to make a backup. Well, Symantec has no phone support, so off I went to their waste-of-a-time support site, and found no help there. I looked at other reviews on Amazon and saw similar problems, and chucked it in. Do yourself a favor and buy DriveImage 5. It blows Norton away in usability, plus they actually have phone support. And best of all, the product makes backing up your drive a no-hassle pleasure. As for Ghost, the name is fitting: it'll haunt you.

Summary: Wish I could give it 0 Stars
Review: Where Drive Image has solved so many of our problems, Norton Ghost has caused even more. Symantec support is also non existant. I guess once they have your money, they don't want to hear from you any longer. I have received no help or constructive help from either customer service or technical support. Don't waste your money!
