I'm pretty new to the disk imaging thing...I'm just tired of reinstalling Windows XP or Vista and spending the next 2-3 days restoring my music, which is acquired via a Rhapsody To Go subscription as well as re-ripping music off my CDs because I keep forgetting to move it to my external hard drive.
I think Ghost is the easiest program I've used so far and it's fast and efficient. But herein lies a problem.
I have Ghost make an image of my entire C drive and the first time I mounted the image on a new hard drive I bought, I had a few problems:
1. I had to uninstall Spybot because after the recovery process was done, Windows Explorer kept crashing and it was because of Spybot.
Great, so no more problems?
2. Nope. Now all my tracks from my Rhapsody subscription doesn't work anymore. It keeps saying I need to "update my DRM" on Windows Media Player.
I am going to attempt another reimaging on the same hard drive with the SRD, this time with just one partition that already exists. Now did that error occured because of Ghost, or did it happen because I changed the drive letter of where the music was, which is on my external hard drive? The original setup was that there was a C drive (first partition) , D drive (CD drive), E drive (second partition) and F drive (external hard drive). On the original hard drive, it was just one partition (C) then E drive for the external and D for the CD.
