Does anyone know of a Newsgroup or forum for Norton Ghost 2003?

I'm just not getting it. I think it's because my DVD/RW isn't on the list of supported drives.

Maybe too, because my motherboard, an ASUS A7N266-VM/AA (nForce) has an onboard LAN chip unlisted as one of those 'cards' in the supported LAN cards list.

I have several computers with the above mb networked together. I sure wish I could create a backup plan. These are computers without floppies although I do have one USB FDD. I have an external 5.25" enclosure with a USB 2.0 interface. Unfortunately, my DVDRW is a Liteon and my new one is a MicroAdvantage by TOPG.

My toughest obstacle though is getting those DOS LAN drivers and creating a boot floppy.

Ok, so I found some 3COM NICs around the house and installed 2 of them into what became a master/slave combo. I thought I would get some speed but even through TCP/IP it's taking over 2.5 hours to clone a 30GB hdd. Hmm... I wonder what the compression settings were set at. Whatever they were, they were the default settings as I never did change them.
BTW, 1700+ cpu in both.
As I recall, there were less than 10GB used in the source drive. Must I create an image file to transfer the used space only?

In time I will know this software and I'll be able to advise others, but not tonight.

Symantec has excellent technical support, just give 'em a call.

This is a pretty popular Ghost "help" site. You may find useful info there.

Don't they charge about $30 per call?
