Dear Ramesh,

If you need to ever restore the XP copy it will be problematic for a
number of reasons (that I won't go into right now). A better way is to
"image" or "Clone" your system drive using a good imaging program like
Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image or the free Seagate disk wizard (OEM
Acronis anyhow) - which you can download from seagate.com for free.
