GHOST - Full Computer onto HardDrive Part?

Hi, im frequently formating me computer, around once every few months (as i use the computer ALOT + very messy)

all im trying to do:

ghost the WHOLE hard drive, and put it onto a hard drive,


so when i come to formating my computer i can simply, delete the hard drive, and ghost it over, and i wont need to go through installing everything again.

but how do i manage this? i have norton ghost 12. but im just really confused..:confused



i just want to be able to ghost my computer when its clean,
put the ghost bootable image onto the secondary hard drive.
when i need to format it use the ghost imge in DOS
instead of disc installing, windows/software/drivers etc..


THANKS, in advance, im a bit blind on this subject, so any tutorials or anything will be GREATLY helpful. thanks again :wave
