I need to make a bootable Norton Ghost disk (CD/DVD, this old PC won't boot from USB keys! and that is what I usually use) what would be the quickest/easiest way?

BartPE is a pretty good tool because it's a live Windows CD that you make from your own Windows installation, and it can be loaded up with a pretty good select of plugins such as Symantec's Ghost program might be a good choice for. You do have to build it though, it's not a pre-built item. Good luck on your search. With WinToFlash you can easily deploy your BartPE CD onto a bootable USB stick. | |||||

The quickest and easiest way would be to download an ISO from the internet and burn it to a CD. There are many good .iso's to choose from that have Ghost. There are tools collections such as BartPE (mentioned above). I think in order to make a Ghost boot disk the legitimate way you have to install the windows version of Ghost and in the program there is an option to create boot disks.

Instead of using ghost, you could use a FOSS alternative such as clonezilla, g4l, a freeware backup app like the free version of macrium reflect,or something like acronis - which while payware, is really easy, and comes with a bootable backup/restore disk. There's a huge load of apps that'll do what you want, if you're willing to look. | |||
