Norton Ghost Image, please Help, Part 1

[Messerschmitt]

Good day, I have some questions about the Norton Ghost.

First of all I understood that this one is one of the best to save the entire C: partition as for backup in case somthing get screwd and you can restore your full system by only restoring the image.

Now the first questions I have is:

1. When I try to do the C: image it says that my USB devices need atention (I have my mouse and my joystick). Type of device canot be determined.

Can you please guide me how to use the advance setting to fix this problem?

(I am most worried about my mouse, because I don't want to remain without it in a delicate state).

2. After I resolve the USB problem, should I worry about anything once the program is starting? I readed that it might have problems, might not return to windows, and stuff like that.

The question is for the people that actualy maked a Ghost image, please tell me what to expect and how to fix if some problems may arrise.

I am asking this because I realy, realy don't want to screw my C drive, because right now, I have configured my system in a way I didn't in 5 years. That is why I am thinking to use a image to preserve this.

The reason I am saying this is part one because after I manage to go throught this process I have some questions about restore - DOS - Windows XP - NTFS stuff that I heard about this.

Thank you for all input you guys can offer about these questions.

Cheers

IIRC it's asking you to choose USB 1.1 or 2.0. Click the advanced button, there should be a USB tab where you make your choices.

The arrow keys and tab work fine though-the interface is pretty simple to navigate by keyboard-I've been known to forget to set it to load the USB drivers......

I haven't had probs with it not restarting, so I can't comment on that. I've been using Ghost 2003 & Ghost 9.
