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...
