"Norton Ghost is okay"
3.0 starson by metmichallicaPros: It helps you restore your computer in the event of a virus attack, etc
Cons: Very slow, might not be totally correct, always verify your image before restoring the drive
Summary: It's an okay program, I think for the price you should get more, and the restore process should be faster. If you restore your drive be prepared to wait two hours or more to get the process done. Always run chkdsk/r before making a disk image and always make sure you have more than one disk image to use in case ghost tells you you can use the image but the restore process fails (happened to me). Should have verified the image before the restore, the only time I didn't and it didn't work. I've had bad disk images, but I never had that happen where it said I could use the image but couldn't Thank god I had more than one backup set.

The problem I was having was not related to Ghost, but damaged cdrs. I got new cdrs, ran the program, backed up, and it worked. So it had to be related to the cdrs, but I still give this program a 6, because it still takes long to make a backup and verify and it can be a dangerous program if you don't know what you are doing.
Always make more than one backup, if the one backup fails, you can try the other backup and so on. Don't rely on one backup image set.
