Substitute for Ghost?
Anyone know of a good, preferably freeware alternative? Norton is really getting on my nerves.

Re: Substitute for Ghost?
Actually, Ghost seems to be a better program than you think. I've tried some other programs and they drove me crazy worse than Ghost did. Stupid Windows programmers seem to think everyone likes obtuse language, wonky interfaces, and insufficient documentation.

Re: Substitute for Ghost?
Unfortunately, I only have it thru Systemworks '04. I'd rather avoid installing that on the next machine. But yeah, I think Ghost is about the best thing they've acquired in ages.
And I prolly should've posted it at the time but forgot- pretty good (IIRC) app Partition Magic (v.9) became free some months ago. I might need that yet at the rate things are eating space on the C partition. Could buy me some time. Or the drive maker's tools suites might do that, I forget. Seagate and Maxtor's, based on a fine 3rd party app, are free too.
