I like creating images and restoring from a DOS boot (off a boot CD I make
with Ghost etc.. on it).

I am using Ghost 2003 on XP SP2 system, NTFS volumes, to image to external
USB drive (FAT32).

Does Ghost 9 still work that way?

Does Ghost 9 offer any benefits to someone like me (who like imaging etc
from DOS)?

Forget Ghost and forget all crapware from Symantec. Want a good imager
that can work under "DOS?" Use BootIt NG from Terabyte.....I love this
product!! Oh, did I mention it's only around $30 for the whole shebang?

Nope, Ghost 9 images drives directly from Windows only, and restores
from a bootable Windows PE environment.

Sure does. You don't have to reboot into Dead Operating System to
image anymore!

Sounds good. Which features of BoothItNG do you use? Do you have
more than four partitions on a single drive?

By way of comparison, did you ever use System Commander from
V-Communications?

Hmmm, I guess I use ALL its features. :-) That is, I use BING both as a
partition manager and also to create images of my various partitions,
which I then back up to DVD. Do I have more than 4 partitions on a single
drive? Hahahahaha.....er, yeah. On my HD0 I have 6 partitions, and on my
HD1 I have 5. BING will also allow you to have as many 254 **primary
partitions** on a single drive, although I can't for the life of me ever
imagine why anyone would want more than say, three or four (well, I guess
if you want to boot five or ten different OS's [ie, flavors] and have each
on it's own primary partition, you could do it).

Nope, never used it. Been using BING since I dumped the crappy Partition
Magic (old PQ, now Symantec) software about five years ago, and have
**never** looked back. <smirk>
