I can't figure out the new "ghost" :(

[bluemax]

I borrowed a newer version of Ghost from a friend for a single drive-to-drive copy. I installed Arconis but I was trying to save the data on the destination drive. By the time I backed everything up on the big, new drive my 14-day trial period expired.

I could use the free Western Digital Data Lifeguard but my old, small Drive C has a couple bad sectors which cause Lifeguard to fail. If I run it within Windows, it obviously won't copy everything. [sigh]

I installed Ghost but it doesn't seem obvious to me how to create a darn image! Tons of stuff on USING the image one you have one...
AI Builder
Ghost Boot Wizard
Ghost Explorer
Multicast Server.

None of them seem to just simply create an image.... maybe I'm missing something on the install I did? [shrug]
Can't be an expert the frist time you run something, but I ran this at the DOS level back in the Win95-98 days.... this is just too different.

Help?

Use Boot Wizard to make a bootable Ghost diskette (or 2, I had to use the MSDOS version not the 1-disk DR DOS version). Boot the boot disk, ghost away.

And there we go. Simple as that. Glad I asked...

I ran the WD Data Lifeguard in a different mode last night - maybe I won't need ghost after all, but if I do I know it'll work now.

Thanks!
