    Norton Ghost problem?

    Hi,

    I was attempting to use Norton Ghost to restore a previous image of my computer for the first time ever.

    The Ghost image that I want to restore is from March 14, 2004. When I put the restore image boot disc into the floppy drive and restart my computer I get the PC Dos screen and then the following appears:

    This driver is provided by Oak Technology, Inc..

    Next, the Norton Ghost appears as if it would work, but I am afraid to go ahead because the above errors cause me to suspect that when I attempt to restore the image my CD-ROM drive might not work, in which case I would be screwed.

    Are the errors above normal? Would I be able to restore an image? BTW, I viewed the restore image flash tutorial several times, and I followed the instructions exactly when creating the restore image boot disc.

    I need advice from experienced Ghosters.

    Thank You,

    P.S. Just after I posted this question it occured to me that my adaptec easy cd creater version is newer than my ghost version. Could this be the problem? Am I screwed?

    God save thee Windows users, from the fiends that plague thee thus.
