Problem Regarding Backups, Bootable DVDs, and Norton Ghost

July 25th, 2016

I have a Dell computer which, when shipped from the factory, came installed with a partition containing a crippled version of Norton Ghost (not sure of the version) and a backup of the c: drive when it shipped including all preinstalled software.
The problem is, in order to use the partition, you have to go through a series of checks on your MBR. My computer fails because of some things I did with partitioning. So, I took the crippled Norton program and the backup and burned them on a DVD. The problem is that I can’t find a way to make it properly bootable so I can navigate to the Norton folder and get the program running.

bin folder contains the Norton program
img folder contains hard drive images
Can anyone help?

Answer #1
well, I’m not sure because I didn’t restore any image since I switched to laptop and Vista, but as far as I can remember, when I did it on my desktop XP i had to make Norton startup disks (on floppy). You should find that in tools menu, I think
Anyway, when you make them (on 2 or 3 floppys, maybe they made an option to burn it on CD or USB stick) boot your pc via that. It should run some sort of norton program and it should ask you for image disk…
I’m just not sure because, as I said, I did it a long time ago, I don’t see why they don’t make it bootable from image disk in the first place… you did boot from cd/dvd drive, right?
Answer #2
Right now it’s on a separate partition that you can access via BIOS. Unfortunately, my partition table is corrupted so it doesn’t boot properly.
Answer #3
Use Norton Ghost 2003 Bootable CD ISO
Burn it to a CD and you got your bootable CD.

Boot into Ghost. Partition, restore, from image.
Navigate to the image file you want to restore from.
