I have Norton Ghost 12 registered version. I have backed up my c:\ to e:\ using norton ghost. means i have created an Image of my c drive. I dont know whether that image is bootable or non-bootable. I have Genuine windows vista, but i am giving my laptop to service center to replace my Hard disk. After getting my fresh Hard disk, I want to Restore the same OS i.e. vista.
The Issue is i cant copy that image to any DVD because its size is 7.35GB. then how i can restore the same os? Any solution of installing through network (LAN)?
Please help me…

Hello
The image itself is not bootable.
Norton Ghost 10.0 and version 12.0 are notcomplicated at all for creating an image of the C drive.
he DVDs you save the image to would not be bootable.
However, the Norton Ghost DVD is bootable and you it will prompt you for the DVDs you created to restore the image.
What blank writable disc capacities are available?
Manufacturers express disc capacity in terms of how much computer data a disc can contain. DVD-R (General), DVD-R (Authoring), DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM discs come in 4.7 GB single and 9.4 GB double-sided (12 cm) and 1.46 GB single and 2.92 GB double-sided (8 cm) sizes.
This has not always been the case for DVD-RAM and DVD-R. DVD-RAM discs designed for use in early recorders (version 1.0) come in 2.6 GB single-sided and 5.2 GB double-sided (12 cm) sizes. DVD-R discs compatible with first generation recorders (version 1.0) come in 3.95 GB single-sided and 7.9 GB double-sided (12 cm) and 1.23 GB single-sided and 2.46 GB double-sided (8 cm) sizes.
Keep in mind that manufacturers quote the capacity of a writable DVD disc in decimal (base 10) rather than binary (base 2) notation so a 4.7 GB disc stores 4.7 billion bytes [4:700,000,000 bytes ÷ 1000 = 4,700,000 KB ÷ 1000 = 4,700 MB ÷ 1000 = 4.7 GB] . Expressed in binary notation (as is typical with CD-R, CD-RW and most operating systems) the same disc has a capacity of roughly 4.38 GB [4:700,000,000 bytes ÷ 1024 = 4,589,844 KB ÷ 1024 = 4,482.27 MB ÷ 1024 = 4.38 GB] .
Good Luck
