Ghosting Vista.

Hi.
Does anyone know if its possible to ghost Vista?
The Volume Shadow Copy feature is nice, but i'd prefer a ghost image.
Everytime i ghost, it reboots and Vista complains that its not genuine, meaning i have to ring MS to get it sorted.

Ideas?

You have to turn the security descriptors off from user files to GHOST properly. Although if you only have a single (admin) account the Ghost image will backup a working version of vista.

u should try Acronis True Image Home, it works much better...

Do what? Is there a guide to doing that?
