I installed Norton Ghost 14 from downloaded file and during the completion of the install step I received an error stating that the program needs to be reinstalled. "go to add/remove programs and remove ghost then start the install process over" there was no list of ghost in the add/remove listing so i removed mannually. Upon the attempt to reinstall I receive the error message "a more recent version of Ghost is on this machine - remove this version before attempting to install. Upon running a search I find no files with "Norton", "Symantec", or "Ghost" showing up.

- I believe that a reference of Ghost exists in the registry only and not in C:\. Since it has become such a pain to install i think it best to not try further since my system is stable now. There's a history of Norton not working will with Windows.
I have the same problem with you. Lukily enough I found the solution from this website.

However, I didn't uninstall the NOD32 in my PC prior to double click the Norton Removal Tool. It seems to work fine anyway. As soon as the NRT finishes its task which takes only a few minutes, I reintall the Norton Ghost 14 and it works without any problem.
you need to remove Norton with Nortons own removal tools. Add/remove program not the same thing as it leaves stuff in the registry. Go to norton.com and get removal tool..Run it, then try the re-install.

1st drive full, so used Norton14 drive copy on to a usb drive. Now with drives swaped around, the drive in laptop (labeled as G:) boots a follows.
1) logon screen, 2) Preparing Desktop and then 3) a blank desktop (blue in color). And that's it.
Now when I also hook up the usb drive (which now contains the old C: drive) we boot up just fine because we now have the drive defined as drive C: connected to system.
How do we change the drive letters with out hoseing everything up to allow the new drive to become the C: boot drive. Then I can format the old drive for data backup use.
thank you.

I loaded the norton removal tool and upon running file i got message: "before you can run removal tool you need to remove norton ghost by going to the add/remove programs." Problem is that there is no listing of any norton products are listed in add/remove programs. I understand that references must exist in the registry of Ghost but i was hoping that the norton removal tool would clean this up. Is there a "higher strength" version of this removal tool?

Ghost 14 has an annoying characteristic that Ghost 10 - which I just upgraded from - did not have. I run an "auto incremental recovery point" job each night at 4AM. Normally the created file is in the area of 200MB but now and then the file will come in at 2 or 3 or 4GB. There is no consolidation here - this is just a regular incremental. The implication is that a large volume of files got modified and so Ghost picked them up into the incremental. I see no reason for this to be the case. My PC operates pretty much as it did when Ghost 10 was installed and this never happened with 10. I think Ghost 14 is getting confused by something. Any thoughts? Is this a bug or a side effect of something else or what? Anyone else seeing this behavior? Ideas would be appreciated.
