Norton Ghost users...please help me out...the user's manual is too vague

Yes! Finally, someone actually read the darn manual before requesting help. Nice for a change, huh? Well, I did read it...and I'm only about 5% smarter on it than I was before.

To run Ghost, you need to make a Ghost boot disk, because Ghost runs in DOS, correct? I made a Ghost boot disk, with CDRom support, just in case. It fits on one floppy. Does this sound right so far?

Here is what I want to do.

1. I want to take the entire contents of a HD, to include everything all proggys, drivers, settings, registry, the whole nine yards, and put it on another HD which I need to format first.

2. Setup a RAID 0 array, using the original HD and another HD (same kind)

3. Take my cloned HD (from step one) and transfer all that info, including the OS to the RAID array.

Probably cake for most of you, but EEK! SCARY! for me. :Q

Can NE1 walk me thru this? Do I set my BIOS to boot from the floppy, with the Ghost disk inserted? Help. Thanks.
 
yup, you'll need to make sure your bios is set to boot from the floppy before the hard drive. the ghost boot disk has everything on it you need to clone a drive. however, i've never tried to do a raid 0 setup using ghost. instinct tells me you may run into trouble getting things setup for the raid. but give it a try & see what happens 🙂
