Yeah, Norton Ghost is probably the only program made by Norton that I would consider using. I'm not generally keen on Norton products because of how much they suck resources.
I wish my problem could have been solved so easily... but the biggest issue in the beginning was my previous install being based on a completely different motherboard and chipset. Luckily it's all fine now.... or it was when I left for work in the morning... I HOPE it is when I get home tonight
