Finding License # For Ghost 2002

[Luckylarry2]

Have seen a Thread recently telling of great price for Norton Systemworks Pro 2002. My son and I bought from that site with no problems. We did find out that when installing it, if you miss the license # when it is installing, the easiest way to find the license #, ( which you will need to use Ghost 2002 for first time ) is to go to C: Program Files then to Norton, then to Ghost, and click on ghostpe which is an application file. That will bring up a DOS window with the License # . Hope this helps those that have purchased the OEM Cd version of Norton Systemworks Pro 2002.

I'm glad you brought this up, I am looking to get either Ghost of GoBack.
Basically, without fail, whenever I set up a new system, steadily the performance drops as new software and hardware is added.
And I end up having to reinstall from scratch. I would love the ability to GO Back in time to a previous configuration (and ignore the unneeded programs that bogged my system down)
PROBLEM is: I want to make sure that the Ghost/Go Back does not itself, slow things down. I want to do video editing, and want to make sure that it will not anchor down the system.
Also which of the 2 (or is there a better choice) would you recommend?

thanks

I thought Patrick Swayze did a great job in Ghost.

I have used both Ghost and GoBack for about the last year. Here imo is the best way to use them.
Ghost --> Only for restoring a drive since the "copy" process is manual. Very useful for initial computer builds of the same type.
GoBack --> Day to day restore as the "copy" process is hidden. I have not noticed any degredation in performance.

Robs (thats me) favorite way to do things...... buy yourself a cheap 3-6gig HD and do a fresh install on your main HD with all the goodies you HAVE to have, then ghost it on to the cheapo 3-6gig HD and put it away in a static baggie in your unerwear drawer. Then when OS starts to falter, format and re-ghost.
