Further to my last post I have another query.
If i partition the c: drive twice, one for xp and one for the programs, is there any benefit in the speed and reliability. Given that even if the programs do go on D: a lot of stuff will be dumped in to the Windows folder and the registry.
If the drive is partitoned, is there a ghost program which will backup and restore the entire disk including partitions in one go? or does it have to be on a per partition basis?
My idea is that if I get problems for whatever reason with the OS files I can simply re-ghost the partiton (or drive) and be back up and running quicker than i would be if i tried to troubleshoot.
Is it better just to let both the OS and the programs install on C: ?
Is it possible to ghost a machine remotely over the Internet? Or another restore method?
