I installed norton ghost 9 to backup/upgrade to a new HD… i can copy the old HD over but cannot boot from it… when i set the new HD as master it boots up, but then hangs at the windows screen (not the splash screen with the progress bar at the bottom, but a blue screen with a windows logo on it)… another message board said this is a common problem with ghost
I've bought an Acronis True Image two months ago and I do not regret.Hey there, ive been working on this for three days now to no avail, im hoping somebody here can help me My recommendation and personal choice going forward for a disk-imaging program is Acronis True Image.ĭon't you think I could write the same? Yes, I fully agree. I have removed Symantec Ghost from my system. The fact that Symantec tech support/development has been unable to isolate the regular random corruption problems I have been experiencing across two releases of the product does not bode well for the future of the Ghost product, in my mind.
Partition Magic, which they also acquired from PowerQuest a couple of years back in release 8 has yet to be updated by Symantec. I would not be surprised if Ghost were treated similarly in the not-distant future. I would still choose Acronis True Image over Ghost on functionality and presentation alone however, on quality of support alone, I cannot and will not recommend any Symantec program.įurthermore, Symantec has a long & sordid history of acquiring products or complete companies and then discontinuing the products. Most importantly, in my experience, Symantec’s Ghost versions 9 & 10 have proven to be unreliable and my experience with Ghost (really, all of Symantec) technical support has consistently been dreadful. However, True Image’s overall functionality, reliability and UI are more robust and more understandable than Symantec Norton Ghost versions 9 or 10. While each program has certain unique features, the core functionality of both programs is essentially equal. I just copy the conclusion of a technical review of Acronis True Image x Symantec Norton Ghost:
