Cloning a PC

[Chrismenzies]

I have a HP dx2000 XP which I have configured. I would like to clone a further 10 dx2000's, all with XP on, with an 'image of my configured PC. Is this possible with Norton Ghost? It appears at the moment that I can only clone an image to another installed HD and not a PC.

Any ideas or thoughs on this one guys?

You should be OK with Norton Ghost, but I don't think you will be able to clone straight onto another PC.
If you have a CD-r/rw or DVD-+r/rw you could burn the image onto one of these & use this in the other PC's or you could put one of the other HD's in the configured PC & clone straight onto that.
However, this is only legal if you have a volume licence for XP or individual licences for each PC.
Another program I have found very good for drive imaging is Acronis True Image.

Ghost will do fine. You will need to put the HD in the new computer temporarly to ghost HD to HD or create a ghost file (image) of the first computer and use CDs or the network to configure the others. As kestrel1 said you need a volume license or some way to change the license info on each computer. Check with Symantec, they probably have the answer in a faq somewhere.

The answer has always been 42

Ghost works. I do it all the time.

Ghost doesn't work for cloning sheep tho....



Just my 2¢

Acronis True Image is the cloning daddy for me.
