Hi,

I have several HP Vectras XU 6/200 (196 MB RAM) each one with 2 SCSI
(fixed) hard drives (2.3 and 4.5 GB respectively).

Working individually with one of them, i installed WinXP Professional
in one of the hard drives (2.3 GB).
IŽd like to create an image of the initial installation of XP
(installation has been cumbersone !) I tried unsuccesfully with Norton
Ghost 2002. By the way, i found out that it would be better to
partition the hard drive so I can create images accross partitions,
not entire disks.

What are my options for creating and restoring images, working with
smaller capacity hard drives (WinXP will occupy more than 50% of the
hard drive). I am newbie in what partitioning, imaging SCSI devices,
and system backup and restoring it respects, so I appreciate your
understanding :)

I appreciate very much your help and suggestions.

Thank you!

Alex.
