Regarding Norton Ghost 2003

I have tried Norton ghost 2002 and drive image 5.0 in an attempt to image one partition of my hard drive to another. As far as I'm concerned PowerQuest products are absolute crap. I've heard that Norton ghost will not recognize nfts partitions which I'm using along with Windows XP. Before I spend any more of my hard earned money and more valuable than that time can anyone assure me that Norton ghost 2003 will perform this function? Thanks in advance.

Yes it will...

You still need to make a boot disk and run ghost off of it if you have ntfs parititions...

I use 2002 and it works fine cloning NTFS partitions. The only limitaion I have found if you make an image file of the partition when you restore it will be FAT32. Which is not acceptable to me. I know you can convert it but I don't like doing it.

But if you have a spare drive or you have a lot of space you can clone to NTFS and then clone it back to restore. It doesn't compress anything and I have yet to have a failure of any kind this way.
