- Norton Ghost
This product is not for the novice. The start-up book that accompanies the CD does not provide sufficient instructions to the novice. I had to have a friend help with the gosting of my small hard drive to my large hard drive. He used a five year old copy of Ghost to accomplish this effort.

- Norton, The Ghost with the most!
Once I got used to the new interface, the product did exactly what I needed. It even restores domain settings at work correctly so I don't have to go to IT every time I restore a setup on my system and have them reestblish my company network credentials.

I do have an objection to the fact that Symantec never does a full uninstall -- they leave around stuff in the registry, as well as LiveUpdate, and it requires extra work (and some technical skill) to remove everything. I take off one star for that. ... Read More

Without further discussion the refund was processed and I was emailed to be notified of the refund. I responded stating that I did NOT request a refund ... Read More

- Life Saver. Never reinstall windows again :)
If I have computer problems now, I just Restore. I use to have to reformat the drive and reinstall windows, and then have to buy a new copy of Windows because of their limited installs. This pays for itself and keeps the Microsoft Dynasty out of my pocketbook. LOL
