    2.Install Vista OS RC2.
    3.Make Vista OS to image file to ghost HDD,then ghost OS with the image file
    4.Restart EUT after ghost,but system can prompt message,and can't enter
    system.
    Ghost version is 8.0. Then we try to use latest version 10.0. But still
    failed.

    Hi,

    Symantec hasn't released any Vista-compatible versions of their product sets
    yet. See:

    Symantec's needs to try their version of Ghost 2003 because it has no
    problems imaging and restoring my version of Vista 64bit RC1.

    Same here...Ghost 2003 bootable CD works great for creating/restoring Vista
    partitions. Just don't try to install use Ghost from within Windows or mark
    drives. Ghost 2003 was the last version based upon the original Norton
    Ghost software. After that, Symantec changed to DriveImage-based software,
    which they took and completely trashed to where it's unreliable in a lot of
    systems, and marketing it to newbies that will blindly try to use it, then
    trash their systems.

    "Works" does not equal "Supported". Yes, it works; no I won't rely on it
    for anything but personal use.

    To my knowledge it was not released as originally predicted. Not uncommon.
