1.0 out of 5 stars A Bloated Mess - Stick with NG 2003
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2004
Verified Purchase
Norton Ghost 9 is a bloated and buggy mess, complete with an interface that does not at all resemble other Symantec/Norton products.

Its backups are much larger than those made with Norton Ghost 2003. Using Ghost 2003 I could back up my entire hard drive to one blank DVD, whereas Ghost 9 insists on using two DVDs.

Furthermore, it even deleted the drivers for my two optical drives!

Backing up a hard drive within Windows has been compared to trying to service an automobile while it is moving down the highway. Ghost 2003 may seem "clunky" and "old fashioned" in dropping back into DOS, but that is a fundamentally sounder approach.

My "bottom line" is that one should definitely stick to Ghost 2003.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you really really need help, you won't get it!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2004
I have been using Symantec products for few years and in general I don't have many complains. For most time, I can live with or work around the problems here or there. You know, I am a computer programmer.

But this time, I am really really disappointed. I used the Ghost 9.0 and had one of my W2K disk images backed up in a network drive, for that part, it went smoothly. It just happened that one of my hard drives crashed and I need to restore the image back to a new hard drive. Started with Symantec Recovery Disk (it came with Systemworks Premier that included the GS 9.0) from CD-Rom, network service started cool. I used the network drive mapping utility to locate my backed up image. Boy, I was happy, but a little bit too early. When I got to the recovery step, it said: Error EBAB0003, This Feature is not implemented. Excuse me, that's not what the user's guide says. There were few options in that screen you can change, but no matter what, sorry, that feature was always not implemented.

The so-called free tech support a joke, basically you go to their web page and there are few useless articles for you to read. If you are buying, make sure you understand you will need to pay near $30 per incident for phone support.

What I am going to try next is to find a way to get the image file to another hard drive and put it in to the same pc to see if I can recover it from there. Please don't tell me this feature is also not implemented.

One another thing I was sold to this is the new incremental backup feature. I hope it is implemented when you want to restore your files.

3.0 out of 5 stars Norton Ghost 9.0 2005 Was Scary!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2005
The short of this review is that Norton Ghost 9.0 worked to restore a failed drive, but after about 12 hours of work and ONLY because I made a network copy of the backup as a drive was failing. That's the good news, here's the bad.

1) Many drive image recovery features are sloppily implemented with little explanation of the parameters needed and little tolerance for users selecting the wrong one.

2) The recovery program NEVER recognized the files on my second drive that's only reason for existing was to hold Ghost backup drive images.

3) It also failed to map and recognize shared folders on a networked PC that stored the backup drive images until a password was added to the Administrator account on that PC (no documentation of this).

4) It failed to indicate that it recognized a new unformatted replacement disc until the final stage of the restoration process, giving the appearance that there was no point in starting the process.

5) It didn't advise when to select "restore BOOT.INI". I had to learn how to edit it after I restored it in order to get the PC to boot.

6) It required many reboots of the recovery program to understand and complete the recovery process, and reboot are very slow - taking about 10 minutes.

7) It's exceptionally slow reading a mapped network drive or browsing folders in a backup stored on a network drive, taking perhaps 20 minutes or longer for each change of folders.

There are reports that the way Ghost makes a backup drive image of the Windows drive while in Windows is an inherently an undependable process and that it will fail a percent of the time.

Perhaps I got lucky because Ghost was able to restore my drive after 12 hours resolving the above. I read that the older v3/2003 version of Ghost, which comes bundled with v9/2005 version is more dependable, even for XP. Also, Acronis True Image 8 is said to be good. I'll probably try Ghost v3 now (since I have it) and try Acronis True Image if it looks like it has problems. Ghost v9 was scary!

4.0 out of 5 stars Haunted by Norton Ghost
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2005

2 things they don't tell you, but you must do in order to use ghost:

1. You MUST run CHKDSK /F before trying to made an image- one bad file and the program gives you a message that you have a cyclic redunancy check error. (after 30 minutes of running).

2. Running live update, YOU MUST NOT REBOOT when asked to do so!!!! From the words of Norton tech support:

After performing LiveUpdate you will receive a prompt that will ask you to restart the computer. If you respond "YES" to rebooting the computer it shuts down before the installation is complete. I recommend that you please respond "NO" and allow Live Update to complete. Then restart the computer after the patch is completely installed.

Having previous experience with this backup program, I was happy to use it. However, the use was shortlived, as the activation key was illegible. Only the trial period was available.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great program if you hate your computer!
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2005

When I complained to Microsoft about my computer's hanging up, I got the reply that it was GHOST; that Symantec knew of the "GHOST" problem but had no fix for it. Symantec in many words confirmed Microsoft's comment. GHOST blocks every new program or alteration of old ones I tried to install. Symantec wants more money to help me solve the problem they don't know how to solve. The program (GHOST 9.0) doesn't even include an "Uninstall." It's a high negative, a cancer that irradiated with "Removal" will return one's computer to health.
