    Norton Ghost

    I dual boot Win98SE on C:\ and WinXP on E:\ (2 partitions, same HD) I want to use Ghost to backup Win XP as that is the one I use the most. However, I am assumming that I can't just back up XP as it has registry entries under Win98SE for dual boot and therefore, I have to ghost both partitions. Or can I do just XP? Just in case, how do I ghost both partitions? Thanks.

    There is nothing store in teh registry in Win98, there is a few files in the root of C: which can be replaced easily by booting off the XP CD and running the repair option.
    If your sig is longer than your post then type more.

    You don't have to keep image of both partitions if you don't want to. I have win98 and XP on two separate drives and I have restore image of winXP partition a few times already with no problem at all.
    I made the image after the dualboot was already set up and running.
    One thing I noticed is that Norton ghost won't let me save an image to the same harddrive tha tthe partition is on even if it is to a different partition. It has to be on two separate harddrive.
