Ghost 2003 can be booted from a floppy and supports XP.

Not sure why you would still be looking into Norton Ghost for disk imaging backup in year 2018. There are lots of superior solution in the Linux LiveCD rescue disk nowadays, completely free and open-sourced. I would recommend PartImage and FSArchiver for modern disk image backup solution. I had proven experience in backing up and restoring bootable NTFS partition from XP, Vista, Win7 all the way to Windows 10 using PartImage.

Noted, although I don't think this is the latest version of Ghost that can do that for XP, no?

IDK. Like I said, I thought something was off when I restored that image of XP using ddrescue. It could have been just me, but I thought that that solution wasn't the best. Also, looking at PartImage's website, it states that NTFS support is still experimental - not to say your experience with making NTFS images is invalid or anything, but I want to have more confidence in my backup solution beyond "experimental". That's why I'm looking at Norton Ghost, since that was a tried-and-true backup solution for Windows, and why I am looking for the latest version of Ghost, for the best experience in backing up XP.

I strongly suggest Acronis TrueImage. It's not free, but its brand specific versions are free. Western digital and Seagate has free versions of it and it supports a hassle free live CD option.

Only requirement is that, your source or target HDD (internal or external) must be a Seagate (or a WD for that matter).

Yeah, I heard of that. Might try it alongside Norton Ghost. It is the cloning software for Windows these days, or at least one of the commercial ones.

Still (not to sound mean but), no one has answered my original question: which NG version is the last version to support XP? Don't all versions after 2001 support XP?

I have original norton ghost 15.0 from 2010 that supports XP, Vista and windows 7

Yeah, I thought that would be the case, since XP was still relevant during 7's era, and there was nothing on the Wikipedia page that mentioned that NG15 didn't support XP.

Now, about getting NG15...

The nice thing about Ghost 10 is that also includes Ghost 2003. Ghost 2003 from my recollection is the fastest Ghost for XP. And Ghost 2003 also can be booted from floppy. I used to visit a site called radified that had a lot of discussion on Ghost.

That's good to know.

Speaking of Ghost. What's the latest version to support Windows 98, do you know perchance?
