Question : Symantec Ghost 14.0 - - Ghosting Problems

I'm new to Ghost 14.0 and I have the following questions.
1) I can't find an option in 14.0 to create a ghost boot disk to boot off of. I want to make a clone of my current hard drive to a new larger one that is blank.
2) Does 14.0 support raid. My workstation uses a raid controller.
3) Is the installation cd bootable?

Answer : Symantec Ghost 14.0 - - Ghosting Problems

No.  You must install and activate the software first.  With Windows XP and Vista, Ghost using one of the new technologies called Volume Shadow Copy, will do on-line (hot) imaging.  

VSS is part of a technology used for making backups and images for databases and pc's that are never booted--such as online bank or credit card database.  They don't shut down Visa (for example) network, boot off a CD, and then take a backup.

On-line imaging is very safe.  On-line vs. off-line imaging and precautions etc has been hotly debated for several years now.  Search Google for more info.

What is your concern about needing to boot off the install CD?
