Norton Ghost 2003 LiveUpdate Discontinued ?

Evidently Ghost 2003 needs build 793 for robust support of external
USB drives. However, Systemworks 2003 LiveUpdate reports all components
up to date when Ghost is at build 775 (as installed from the CD).
Running LiveUpdate repeatedly, as suggested, does not help.

Ghost 2003 has been "discontinued" by Symantec, but would they have
shut down LiveUpdate, thus depriving all of the latest working version?

And, indeed, build 775 does not work with an external USB drive in an
attempted cloning operation. It hangs.

I see that others have reported problems updating Ghost 203 recently,
but someone at Symantec Live Chat claims LiveUpdate should work --
although their website has a cryptic page that says that "Files and
Updates" for Ghost 2003 are no longer available.

I imagine this could be catastrophic for people who have backup Ghost
images and have lost their updated Ghost installations or boot disks.
Does anyone know more about this?

I'm pretty sure symantec would like to buy a newer version.
Not sure if you are looking for the update to ghost but if so I uploaded it
to yousendit. Just copy and paste the files into your ghost folder and
you'll have the 293 version. It can be had at,
