As Harry said you can image your XP partition to another partition but like
you mentioned it's useless if the drive fails. I would recommend a 2nd hard
drive. Disks are really cheap, many under $.50 a gb on sale, and then you
could image all your partitions and be protected in case of a disk failure.

I've almost finished installing XP on a new computer with 4 logical drives.
Can I create a Ghost image capable of restoring my system on one of the
logical drives (not the system drive)? I know this is useless if the hard
drive fails, but I'm thinking more about XP failures.
