How to hide ghost image?

After I use Norton Ghost to backup my computer, is there a way to hide the ghost image from my computer hard drive. When I want to restore the image, I just use a ghost boot disk and map the ghost image from my hide partition. Also, is there a computer rename software that can be use after restore computer from a image

The best way to hide it is to burn the image to DVD (twice, and verify) and put them in two safe places and take them off your computer. If you just keep them on your drive, if there is a catastrophic failure, you'll lose it anyway.

To answer your "computer rename after ghosting" question, ghost should come with a ghostwalker program that you run after you restore an image (which, by the way, can be saved to DVD or another hard drive locally or on a file server somewhere). Running ghostwalker allows you to rename your computer and regenerate SIDs/GUIDs.

If you have the full version of Ghost, there is a utility called gdisk that is a disk setup tool. It can hide and unhide partitions.
