To start your computer by using the Symantec Recovery Disk
1 If you store your recovery points on a USB device, attach the device now (for
example, and external hard drive).
Note: You should attach the device before you restart the computer. Otherwise,
the recovery environment might not detect it.
2
Insert the Norton Ghost CD into the media drive of the computer.
If Norton Ghost was installed by your computer manufacturer, the recovery
environment already could be installed on your computer's hard drive. Either
watch your computer monitor after the computer restarts for on-screen
instructions, or refer to your manufacturer's documentation.
3
Restart the computer.
If you cannot start the computer from the CD, you might need to change the
startup settings on your computer.
See “Configuring your computer to boot from a CD” on page 153.

As soon as you see the prompt “Press any key to boot from CD”, press a key
to start the recovery environment.
Note: You must watch for this prompt. It can come and go quickly. If you miss
the prompt, you must restart your computer again.
5
Read the license agreement, and then click Accept.
If you decline, you cannot start the recovery environment, and your computer
will restart.
