    "No more disk cloning, dual-boot..."

    by mongo2006 on January 24, 2009

    Pros: Irrelevant, as I only wanted Ghost for disk cloning

    Cons: Symantec has removed the most valuable features of Ghost, and made them only available in the Enterprise version.

    Summary: I was looking for a good application specifically to help me migrate from an old and failing C: drive to a new disk; I had read that Ghost was great for fast and simple disk cloning like this, so I picked up a copy.

    Imagine my surprise when I started experiencing problems with what had reportedly been a very straightforward process.

    After researching the problem for about 15 minutes (something I should have done earlier...), I discovered that the cloning feature has been moved to the higher end Enterprise version (along with the dual boot capability).

    Long story short--Ghost went back to the store, and I used XXCLONE to achieve exactly what I wanted, for free.

    For anyone else looking for disk cloning capability: skip current and future versions of Ghost; currently available freeware such as XXCLONE allows simple cloning and creation of bootable copies of existing disks.
