A: What is a Ghost image? Why do I need it?
Q: A Ghost Image is THE EXACT SNAPSHOT (or Clone) of a hard drive, which can
usually be created by programs like Norton Ghost. This image is very useful
when transferring data from a hard drive to another. For example, if you do a
Ghost image of your laptop drive, you can transfer the same image to another
one, so you do not have to re-install Operating systems (like Windows) or any
other programs/files that existed before.
A: Is there other way to create Ghost Image?
Q: Yes, you can also use external USB/Firewire/PCMCIA devices (like
enclosures) to create the images. However, these approaches are usually much
harder, and often unsupported by many computers due to BIOS limitations. Using
this IDE converter is THE MOST STRAIGHT FORWARD way to achieve this purpose.
