There are two methods of restoring your computer:
■ Norton Ghost
If you are able to start in Windows, then you may be able to run Norton
Ghost from Windows on your hard disk and restore your computer with the
latest backup image file that you have created.
See “Restoring your computer from an image file” on page 37.
■ Ghost.exe
If you cannot start Windows, then you must start your computer from a
recovery boot disk or CD/DVD. This starts your computer and starts Norton
Ghost in DOS. From Norton Ghost, you can access your image file and
restore your computer to the latest backup image file.
See “Restoring from an image file” on page 101.
The Ghost Boot Wizard helps you create a recovery boot disk.
See “Creating boot disks and boot images” on page 75.
Warning: Create and test a recovery boot disk before you need it. If your
computer crashes and you do not have a recovery boot disk, then you will have to
find another computer on which to create a boot disk.
