Make sure whatever you are going to use to boot, has USB 2.0 drivers on it
(I am assuming the external drive is USB). You might try a boot to see if
you can access the external drive using Ghost.

If I want to do a clean install sometimes, I will reload all the software
normally and use the Ghost backup to bring back just files I want to keep.
The Explorer utility can do this.
