[Ham-Computers] Backup OS on CD

Mon, 23 Dec 2002 01:38:10 -0500

Norton Ghost users pages that I ran into covered making a bootable Cd that
would install a Ghost image upon startup. The remainder of the image would be
on subsequent disks or other hard drives or partitions of the main drive.

This will only work if the motherboard supports boot from CD.
