I'd like to ask something

I've always used GHOST to back up and restore the system~~~`
I'm using WIN2K(fat32), and I've run into a problem, so I've never used the NTFS format

I want to know, after using NTFS on the system drive (c:\), how can I use GHOST to restore the system?
The main question is: how do I boot into DOS and be able to see an NTFS hard disk? I know some boot disks now can boot NTFS partitions, but I'd like to know whether they are stable?
Also, GHOST should reliably support backup of NTFS partitions, right??

Waiting for your reply~!!~~~~~~~```````````````

You don't need to be able to see the NTFS hard disk under DOS, just use Ghost directly for backup, Ghost recognizes the NTFS format. It's just that the drive where you store the image file can't be NTFS, it has to use FAT32, then any Win98-or-later boot disk can boot and complete the restore.

The drive for storing the image file can be NTFS, but only if you use GHOST version 2003 or later.
