I have a computer for last two years. However, now I want to protect sensitive data on my HDD. A friend told me that I should use Norton ghost. He told me that Norton ghost allows users to make absolutely complete image. Is Norton ghost good choice for making drive image?

If I were you, I would surly think twice about using Norton ghost for any reason. That program could so easily scramble your data so bad that you may loose everything on your hard drive. If you still insist on using it, I would advise you to, at least, find somebody that have enough experience in working with it. Ask him to explain you how to properly use it. Also, I do not think you should protect your data like that. I do not think it would work fine enough lately. I think you should copy your data to some other hard drive or to some DVD disk file by file. That would be the only way to be sure that you copy everything you need.
