Well I already made a bootable BartPE CD. But this in itself will
not restore my OS in case of a disaster (HD faulure, etc).

Why not? I've done it several times, using just this method!

How? With that Drive Copy utility? Mine doesn't work until I
register it. Or did you just copy the files over?

Using xcopy.exe with lots of switches under a Bert PE boot.

Oh okay, one clever batch file will handle that. Thanks! And you have restored with xcopy too and everything including Windows XP was fine?
