Hi Tracy,

I guess I should have asked in the first place why your personal preference is for Drive Image over Ghost. The manual for PartitionMagic 7.0 refers to possible compatibility problems with various Norton programs. I was planning to install Norton SystemWorks 2001, Prof. Ed., because it includes Ghost and a bunch of other useful stuff. But the PartitionMagic manual says that installing Norton SystemWorks may limit me to running PartitionMagic only from the rescue disks. Do you know anything about this or other specific Norton compatibility problems? I didn't realize that Drive Image is also a PowerQuest product, so I'm thinking that I might be better off with Drive Image than Ghost, but I'd still like to have the other utitilities in Norton SystemWorks, if they can coexist with PartitionMagic.

Thanks in advance if you can shed any further light on this.

Mike

We used it last summer when I worked with the govt on literally hundreds of systems. We needed to do dynamic repartitioning on systems that arrived with multiple partitions and we needed them to be limited to one partition. I've also used ghost, drive image, and drive copy with success at work. At work we chose ghost and partition magic while at home I use drive image and partition magic (personal choice) and have successfully restored images too many times to count I'm afraid!
