Customer Reviews

May 14, 2009 -"I have been using ghost for 6 years and it the tops in imaging software. Its very easy to install but it lacks good documentation. There is many sites online that address this problem and are very helpful. When using this product to make a bootable cd it still uses a dos boot disk and not all the prgram can fit on one floppy disk with the current version. It has good useful products when restoring image off a network."

May 07, 2009 -"I do think Norton Ghost 14.0 is the best think I have purchased. It is a GOOD product, and I highly recommend it. I also run 360, and think that is the worst thing Symantec has ever dreamed up. Just purchased a HP machine and it runs Norton Internet Security. It would be a very nice thing to incorporate some features from all packages into one package. And yes It would be a price boost.

I think Norton 360 is just a worthless piece of software and would never recommend it to anyone. I mean I will not buy that again."
