I used Norton Ghost to make images of my initial operating system install for quick restore later. Off the 3 dvd's I use for initial install, the image produced by Ghost is only about 480mb on my saved partition. To compress an entire 40 gig drive the image would likely be around 3.2gb. 700 is a little far fetched. I now use Acronis True Image 8.0 for my back up needs. It is MUCH faster than Ghost, and I believe does a better job. Peter
