Symantec Live state utility create boot disk

I have downloaded and am evaluating symantec live state recovery utility. I can create the image no problem and restore files but if I take a complete image of the O.S and want to restore it I obviously need to create a boot disk from LSR, where can I create this image from ?

Thanks, My problem is the server is raid and ghost seems to have difficultywith this, there appears to be no straight forward way of taking a system image (using any software) of a server and restoring the image to a new server of possible different hardware.

At my old company my co-worker got Ghost to work on raid arrays on our servers ... it is possible.
If you are running an eval version then the program might not support accessing raided drives ... but there is a verion out there that does.

Look into the versions that claim bare metal restore ... this is supposed to let you take an image of a machine and ley it back down onto completely new hardware, specifically for this type of situation. I don't know if they have an eval version of this available though.
