Note: If this product came pre-installed from a computer manufacturer, your trial
period could be as long as 90 days. The product licensing or activation page during
install will indicate the duration of your trial period.
See “Activating Norton Ghost later” on page 25.
Installing Norton Ghost
Before you begin, you should review the requirements and scenarios for installing
Norton Ghost.
See “System requirements” on page 19.
Note: During the installation process, you might be required to restart the
computer. To ensure proper functionality after the computer restarts, log on again
using the same user credentials that you used to log on when you installed Norton
Ghost.
The installation program scans your hardware for the required drivers. If the
program does not find the required drivers, you receive a driver validation message.
If you receive this message, you should test the Symantec Recovery Disk (SRD).
Testing the SRD verifies whether the drivers are required or if the devices on your
system have compatible drivers that are available on the SRD. The driver validation
process should not interfere with your ability to install the product.
See “About ensuring the recovery of your computer” on page 27..
Warning: The SRD provides the tools that you need to recover your computer. It
is included with your product either on a separate CD, or on your product CD,
depending on the version of the product that you purchased. You should store
the CD in a safe place.
To install Norton Ghost
1
Log on to your computer using either the Administrator account or an account
that has administrator privileges.
2
Insert the Norton Ghost product CD into the media drive of the computer.
The installation program should start automatically.
