I don't know why.
I use version 8 of Norton Ghost on Vista. I have a bootable CD (UBCD4WIN)
which lets me Ghost perfectly.
I've partitioned the disk in my notebook to a C: and D:.
ALL my data is on D:. I do a lot of downloading and testing. Before a
major test I boot from the CD and ghost from C: to D:\Ghost\yymmdd.
If I have problems uninstalling after the test I just boot from the cd then
ghost from G:\Ghost\yymmdd to C:.
It reboots every time.
I bought Norotn Ghost v10 but it doesn't fave the simplicity and ease of use
of V8.
