norton ghost

This is the first time I use Norton Ghost. Previously I use Drive Image.
I can install Ghost 9 and do backup on my Win XP without problem. When I
come to restoring the image. I boot the Ghost 9 CD. At the option I select
restore, I get message "This application has failed to start because the
application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix
this problem".

How can I reinstall the application when I am booting from CD?

Suggest you get a refund and go buy Acronis True-Image, or go back to Drive
Image.

You might try going to the Symantec website. They have a support
page in which you can post questions (you may have to dig to find it).

You were lucky. My WinXP w/SP2 does not even boot up after I installed the
Norton Ghost, which came with Norton Systemworks. I have to boot into safe
mode and uninstalled the Norton Ghost to get the WinXP back. I then try to
reinstall the WinXP w/SP2 and all the patches. I will never touch the Norton
Ghost again even it came as free.

I too had boot problems after installing Ghost. Problem gone after removing
it. Considering going back to Drive Image 7 or Acronis True Image.

I had the same thing with Ghost 8 (I understand Ghost 9 is a
completely different beast). I had to go to the Norton website and
download a utility to fix the problem. Actually, it was several
programs, because they said "Try this, then this, then this", and the
3rd one worked.

If I hadn't had another PC on the 'net right there, I'd have been out
of luck. No more Ghost for me!

I like True Image because it doesn't have to diddle your boot info to
work. The CD boot is as non-intrusive as you can get, AFAICT.

I am not a fan of Norton bloat ware but I had great results with Drive Image 7. Ghost 9 is a rework of Drive
Image 7 with the added option of incremental backup. I've been using it for two weeks with no glitches. Have
you tried booting with your Drive Image CD to do a restore? Symantec claims Ghost 9 and Drive Image 7 images
are compatable.

I long ago gave up on those Symantec Utilities, and all others mostly.
Hell NTBackup does the job for me. Ships with XP.,,,
