I want to create a recovery CD.

If I try to use Norton Ghost and try to install it, then
I get an error that says "Administrator functions will
not allow this" or some similar drivvel.

Since I am now up and running well and have recently
installed a new CD drive, I want to set a bench mark to
make an easy recovery CD if I have a disaster.

Is there a way to burn a recovery CD without the Ghost?
How can I install the Ghost properly? Won't work in Safe,
Administrator either.
