Hmm there are various "ghosting" programs available, of which IMHO Norton Ghost is probably the best,I also reccomend Partition Magic, as it always seem to come in handy.


Yeah, I have heard about ghosting progs, but never tried them myself, as I have never tried roll back for winxp for example. Have you tried copy-image your drive? Does this go smooth?

As for partitioning large volume drives, I suggest you stick to 20Gb a partion and have C: for your OS, D: for utilities like PSP, Norton etc. E: for Work related files, F: for games and G: for storage.


That's an excellent idea, I always thought I have too much space reserved for system and too little for gamezz. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

I also reccomend you do all these partitions in NTFS, as it is far more reliable then FAT32, and sofar I have had no problems playing any games (hmm aside from Ultima 1&2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) and your drives will be alot more speedy and functional <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


Speedy? I have heard many times that FAT32 is much more flexible and speedy. That was the reason I was planning to allocate less space for NTFS.

Goldy I am not sure, but I think you will loose all your data if you decide to partition your drive, as format goes after partitioning.
