Yesterday - I ran Linux Mint 17.3 off the DVD, then I had to download an update for Firefox because my LM DVD had v42 Firefox and needed v57 to play HTML5 YouTube videos. I finally upgraded to 1709 by not uninstalling McAfee, but turning every feature OFF. McAfee was preventing 1703 to 1709 upgrade, people uninstall McAfee and couldn't get it reinstalled. I've noticed several threads about problems reinstalling LiveSafe on the McAfee forum lately. Would keep trying things and restoring images, until I finally had 1709/LiveSafe. Had a 1703/LiveSafe image and a 1709/Defender image. November - I would try something with McAfee to get 1703 to 1709, and have problems, so would restore image, and try something different. I've made a few images but have not attempted to restore any images yet. Ghost seems to run ok with the CD boot disk. Ghost 15 (XP, Vista, 7) is no longer supported, and the Ghost installation from my Windows 7 got corrupted during the Windows 10 upgrade, can't run or uninstall or install.

v2i image files each time for my hard drive (utility, recovery, OS). I also have Norton Ghost 15, which makes three. Turns out it will show the 500 GB is connected if you start a Backup, guess 2 USB drives threw it a curve ball, but can back up to either drive. Only reason I ran the backup was because when I connected my 1TB drive, Backup showed that USB drive was connected and when I connected the 500 GB drive, Backup showed the USB drive was not connected. I normally don't use the file Backup system, I just save things where I want them myself but I did make a Backup Set on Dec 7, I selected no image, backup has 75 zip files, and it finished with no errors and is on my 500 GB USB drive. I'm not exactly sure if the Utility deal is a partition? Ghost does make 3 image files for system image of the hard drive. This Dell has 3 partitions: 39.2 MB Dell Utility / 18.2 GB Recovery / 913 GB OS. 'Backup and Restore (Windows 7)' makes 2 images for my hard drive each time volume 3482- & (C ). I save my Images to couple My Passport USB drives (one is 500 GB & other is 1 TB). I have also made several images, with zero problems. Since November 2017 I have used 'Backup and Restore (Windows 7)' to restore images maybe 10 times (probably more), with zero problems.

I have a 2012 Dell i3 desktop that came with Windows 7, then got the free Windows 10 upgrade in 2016.
