Need Symantec Recovery Disk

I was converting my root drive from FTFS back to FAT32. I'm using the
brand new Ghost9. I'm used to the old Ghost booting to DOS
automatically. This thing requires the Symantec Recovery Disk.
Usually, there is an option to make a recovery disk when Ghost is
installed. Not this time. I can't get this to work. Is there some
site where I can download a copy of this? Thanks.

The recovery disk has to be made on the machine that is going to be used for
its own recovery, or a near identical machine in its hardware setup. There
are some configurations that are important for this.

There should be a utility to make a recovery boot diskette in one of the
menus of Ghost. Look in its help system for details. I see this in my
installation.

According to MS, you cannot convert back from NTSF to FAT32. If you backed
up with Ghost from an NTSF drive, you can only restore back to an NTSF
drive.

The only way to go back is to unpartition the drive, and then start again
from scratch. Just make sure you first backed up all your user data in a
standard format, so you an copy it back. You can use standard CDR disks for
the user data.

Well, that applied to the old Ghost, but Ghost 9 seems to be an animal
of a different color. The System Recovery Disk is on the Ghost 9 CD,
but has been damaged.

There is no menu for this in 9.

Well, so far, I'm able to recover the files individually from NTFS to
FAT32.

24 gigs of data is just too much for CD-Rs IMHO.
