Hello, We recently brought some laptops with SSD's (Win 7 64bit) and have had problems with ghosting the images from a external drive via USB that previously worked fine - Norton Ghost version 8.2. So we bought Norton Ghost 15 (assuming that was the right decision). Problem - I can not figure out how to make this version of Norton Ghost boot off my external hard drive.

How to Run Norton Ghost 15 from a DVD or USB. You will have to boot up the computer with a copy of Symantec Recovery Disk. A writeable DVD or bootable USB. 36 - Boot to Hiren's Boot CD from a USB drive (v13/v14/v15.1/15.1DLC) 37. Aaaarrgghh Spider Book there. Radar Simulation Software. 08 - Make a bootable USB drive for the Norton Ghost Symantec Recovery Disk/Tool.

With the older version I would boot the system, Press F12, select the USB option, get into dos and type in Ghost.exe which started up the interface to either create or deploy an image. Any advice would be helpful. Isn't it a bootable CD or DVD? You'd just have to but the PC with a USB cd Drive attached with the ghost CD in it, and make sure the system boots from that external CD drive. Most imaging I know of come as a bootable CD or DVD. If this isn't the case, I suggest using bootit-ng, this tool can be used to manipulate partitions, and also for cloning and imaging. The trial version is fully functional (it is only the boot-manager which can be installed that can only be used during the trial period, but that you don't need for your purpose).
