Can I Create a Bootable Recovery USB Flash Drive with Ghost?

Hello from New Jersey.

 

I'd like to know if Norton Ghost 15.0 can create a bootable rescue USB flash drive, instead of a bootable CD?  

 

Or, can it use an external hard drive as the bootable rescue object?

 

If it can use an external hard drive, does the hard drive have to be totally empty, or can various data already be on it?

 

Thank you!   Jd

 

PS:  I do not own Norton Ghost.  Please consider these to be pre-sales questions.

Ghost does not do this natively. As long as your computer can boot from USB, it is easily done...

It is easy to add the boot files to a USB harddrive too. You just have to mark it as active in Disk Management then copy the boot files from the CD or Flashdrive
