 Norton Ghost 14.0 August 12, 2008
I purchased this product and am very disappointed with Symantec's customer service. I emailed them with a complaint that I was not able to load the product on more than one computer although it was purchased for home use. I stated that I would have requested a refund except I already purchased, installed it and ran it and needed to use it in the future. Without further discussion the refund was processed and I was emailed to be notified of the refund. I responded stating that I did NOT request a refund and that I did not want one and I needed the product and to please reverse the refund. I received another email stating the refund had been process and they IGNORED my request to reverse the refund. Then I attempted to find a phone number to contact them which is not given anywhere.
I consider the Customer Support to be the worst I have ever dealt with.
 Life Saver. Never reinstall windows again :) August 8, 2008
If I have computer problems now, I just Restore. I use to have to reformat the drive and reinstall windows, and then have to buy a new copy of Windows because of their limited installs. This pays for itself and keeps the Microsoft Dynasty out of my pocketbook. LOL
Bad news on this one August 5, 2008
This software made a backup to my USB drive but then it would not restore because I had no restore disk. Symantec you should warn customers that backup does no good unless you have a restore disk. A dialog box that says your backup is useless would be nice. Instead I had a "green light" saying my drive was safely backed up. This product is hard to operate and is not portable. You can't boot in 16 bit subsystem with generic drivers. The software is a complete .NET rewrite and bears no resemblance to earlier forms of Ghost like version 8. Try to find an old copy of version 8 or buy something else. $75 dollars out-of-pocket and you can use it on one machine if you're lucky.
Extermely Difficult to use August 1, 2008
Unless you are very computer knowledegable and experienced, I would not recommend this product for you. The level of difficulty in using is very high and I am a certified computer technican with years of experience. Poor User manual. Also after installing on Vista I was immediately confronted with a Ghost Status window showing I needed to create a Recovery Point and no suggested default location for this. When attempted to create on DVD disk it would reach 17% and never finish. Took help on two different days using Norton live online chat to fix.

Since I have been using Norton products for years, it was a natural for me to select Ghost as my personal backup facility. It is easy to use and wonderfully powerful and complete. I cannot think of another product that I have used in the past that has the ease of use and the features available for the right price.
