Ghost really isn't intrusive when you just use the DOS version from a bootable CD/floppy. The whole software package for Windows in unnecessary, you will need to create images ouside your OS anyway... as long as it supports NTFS any old goht verson will do .

Ghost sucks.

Would you stop with the unexplained claims. :\

Ghost is actually a fairly decent piece of kit, I know a lot of system admins that use it for their basic images that they mirror across all their computers.

Ghost is not a very good peice of software for the following reasons:

1. Its relitvely slow
2. Has horriable compression
3. Most other imaging products have a far more powerfull network features and offer encryption (Cant remember if Ghost does that, correct me if im wrong)

Wrong. Every review I've read put their performance on roughly the same level, and that's true in my experience also.

I would hardly call a 10-15% larger file than True Image "horrible".

Irrelevant to the question.

You are wrong.

Still, True Image is the way to go. Just don't make things up to make it look better.
