I have made images using Powerquest Disk Image software of different OSs (Win 98, NT 4.0 server & Win2k server) on individual primary partitions on one single hard disk. I installed Win Xp on one such partition. Now when I run Disk Image to recover an image I made before I installed Windows Xp, Disk Image now only recognizes the whole disk as 1 partition and it's labelled 'BAD'. Does anybody know how to recover the original partition information so that i can recover the images to the partitions they were originally made from? Dos anybody know what Windows Xp did to the partition table?

It sounds like when you deleted the partition for the "restore" of the image that you maybe deleted the all partitions. I'll be doing XP with my setup - I use the same software and let you know what happens with mine.
