    o, I use the ghost.exe DOS file found in the support folder on the Norton Ghost disk and copy it to my DOS partition. This way I can run Ghost in DOS to do my backups and restores from DOS.

    o, I keep the Windows XP images locally and restore the OS on each computer from a menu selection when I power them on. I do keep and update a master image on the server and use this to update my local images when needed. Ghost does have a ghostcasting feature to restore over a network. I usually configure a self booting CD or DVD to auto restore a complete hard drive locally when needed. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment.

    Hi there, I am an IT manager (second year) at a high school and would really love to do what you are doing. Right now, I remove the hard drives and connect to a computerI have in my office that clone that way and then put the drives back, takes heaps of time and often have computers that are not functional. What version of Norton Ghost are you using? I REALLY like your idea.!!
