Symantec Ghost? What is that and how can it help prevent HD melt down?

Xaren is correct, it can't prevent a HD from going bad, but it saves you a lot of heartache when/if it ever does. I keep a spare "cloned" HD in my computer now so if my original one dies all I have to do is swap a cable and I'm right back in business. Pretty handy, especially for folks like me who tend to have rotten luck with HD's.

And in the long run, investing in a backup HD to store your ghost image is a lot cheaper than doing multi-volume CDR backups.

Kept intending to do that but never got around to it, I'll be getting a new Gateway system on thursday, till then I'll be gnawing my fingernails off
