Hi Don,

It does work with CDs.  I've imaged this computer that I'm on many times 
to CD using Ghost 2003.  In fact, one of the Ghost 2003 images that I 
made is what I used to restore the system when I changed to a larger 
hard drive on this computer.

I already had an image of the C: drive on CD (took 4 CDs).  The problem 
was that it was not bootable.  I was trying to create a bootable CD 
image when it locked up.

I tried booting to safe mode.  It would not do it.  I don't currently 
have a BartPE disk.  I downloaded the instructions to create one using 
the WinXP home disk for this computer that I'm going to try.

Thanks...

Loy
