I read that Norton Ghost 15 has been discontinued. Did Symantec or Norton replace it with a newer version of cloning software? When I use this software to clone Windows 7 professional 64-bit it has never copied the master boot record or other startup files properly. I can however get it work by running a start up repair twice with a Windows 7 installation disk.

I really liked Norton Ghost 15 for cloning New Technology Filing System (NTFS) hard disk drives because it would usually get the job done in less than 20 minutes.

What other software out there are people using to clone hard drives with presently and having success with it?
 
Here are a several questions I have:

What version of Acronis or Clonezilla do you use?
What filing systems have you had success in cloning?
How long does it take you to clone from one hard disk drive to another?
Are there any video tutorials you can guide me to?
 
I've used the clone feature found in bith Acronis True Image and Acronis Disk Director. NTFS is normally the only file system I clone. The time it takes depends on how large the volume is that needs to be cloned. I don't know why you need video tutorials. It's very straightforward.
 
I don't know what features the Lite version has - I've always used the full Home version. It's not expensive at all, and it will probably end up paying for itself after not long at all.
