    I am looking to do a format/reinstall of all of my editing software/operating system. Does anyone recommend a ghosting program that I can use to capture a picture of my hard drive to avoid a lengthy install in the future. I’m a bit skeptical how premeire pro and my matrox rtx100 card will perform after doing a ghosted reinstall.

    Any suggestions?

    With a Matrox card, I would be skeptical on ghosting the harddrive and would prefer to re-install the card and the software from scratch.

    That’s not what I wanted to hear.

    Bummer…

    Thanks for replying.

    Why not Ghost it and if it doesn’t work – re-install?

    We actually have a lot of success with Ghost 2003 from Norton. Good luck trying to find it on retail, since they totally revamped the Ghost application in the last year.

    I cannot recommend any newer versions of ghost, since they operate in a much different manner than what suits our needs as a business.

    If you can locate an old copy of ghost 2003 (ebay), buy it and it should provide you with what you need.

    And yes, we do use it with RTX100’s. Provided we check the ghost out afterwards, we have a 100% recovery rate with this application.

    One other thing to note is that the ’03 edition of ghost doesn’t really like SATA drives, so you may need to unplug ’em to get it to work right.
