cant copy os partition

Hi, I'm using norton ghost 14.0 and I'm trying to make a copy of my old windows partition to my new hdd. But when I start the process it breaks, giving me this message:

"This operation cannot be performed while windows is running. You must complete this operation inside the recovery environment."

So I tried booting from the cd but it seems all I can do from there is recover my system from a previous restore point. Help would be very appreciated.
