How to Load an Image Onto a PC Using Ghosting

Ghosting is a technical term used to describe programs that make a small cloned version of your PC. Ghost images allow you to quickly recover information on your PC. Ghost images record all the programs, files and settings on a PC at the time they are created.

5. Pick the ghost image you want to load and double-click its icon.
6. Follow the directions as it loads. The ghosting program asks you a series of questions on what to load from the image.
