![]() ![]() That boot disk can be a CD, a Flash Drive or evenĪn SD Flash Memory card. I use Ghost 11.5, which only runs in DOS, from a DOS boot disk. No problem with that here, because I’ve been using essentially the same program for the past decade+. Most likely you need to use a different program”. Trying NOT to insult anyone, I’ve said this before….”If your backup and restore program is not working for you, then (it’s now 8 years old and still runs better than Keeping my hard drive defragmented, is just one reason why my PC runs so good.
