Thank you Ken,
To your point 1, For my ghost files, I need FAT32 in second disk.
OK, that wasn't clear before.
Why does it need to be FAT32, by the way? I don't see anything in what
you say here that requires FAT32.
From XP DM, I don't have option to choose FAT32, I only have NTFS.
That's correct. Windows XP won't create a FAT32 partition larger than
32GB, but it will happily use one if created externally.
This is the reason I introduce PM to this mess. Now, If you know of a
way to do this from XP, I'll be glad to try since that will resolve my
main problem.
I still wouldn't use PM. Just boot from a recent DOS diskette with
FDISK and Format commands on it, and do it from that.
2. My main reason of trying to use Ghost is not necessary to back up,
but to have multiple copies of XPs in different service packs. I have
need to test in clean install of XP and at least with service pack 2.
So in my past, this was easily done via Ghost. I'll install XP
without any service pack, Ghost it, then install sp1, ghost it,
etc....
