Abacus?
I learned to count, add and subtract on one of those when I was five.
My mom was great at tricking me into actually learning something from my toys.
There is one drawback to having a backup copy of your windows install, like a Ghost Backup and not an Install CD......
That is, that it will only work on that one PC. But for most of us, that's ok.
Ghost on CD or DVD? That must be a pretty late version. From the original release, in ~1997, to version 11.5 Ghost has been a DOS version which can be run from floppies and/or a Flash Drive. Ghost 11.5 is the oldest version that will backup and Restore Vista or W-7.
Actually, Ghost 11.5 is just a little too big to fit on a single floppy disk. There is also an 11.5 version "Ghost32.exe" that runs in Windows and a Ghost Explorer 11.5 which allows you to open up any Ghost backup to restore a single file or folder.
One Symantec expert that assisted in the original Ghost version, denies that Ghost 11.5 even exists. Go figure.
My friend and Computer Guru tells me that Ghost 11.5 backs up and restores Linux just fine. I've had no way to test that.
To Clifford and NMSUK,
There is a DVD, in the wild, that has all the Windows 7 versions on it, + SP1 and it does provide a menu from which you can pick the version you want to install. You still need a key to legitimize it though.
JFYI
