Why Use a BootCD Instead of a Windows-Based Ghost?

Many users ask: Why not just install Ghost on Windows? The BootCD offers critical advantages:

1. Offline Cloning – You can clone a disk that has a corrupt OS, malware infection, or locked system files.
2. No File Locking Conflicts – In Windows, open files (like the registry or pagefile.sys) may cause inconsistent snapshots. BootCD avoids this entirely.
3. Forensic Integrity – Since the OS isn't running, there’s no risk of background writes altering the source disk.
4. Hardware Independence – Boot from the CD on any PC, even one with no hard drive or operating system.

6. Hardware Independent Restore (HIR)

With the included HIR feature, you can restore a Windows image to dissimilar hardware. Ghost injects mass storage drivers during restore, preventing the dreaded "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" blue screen.
