I want to have XP pro for my primary OS, and then another OS (XP home) for music production/composing where the OS footprint is as minimal as possible (maybe even without Antivirus and TCP/IP) to leave processing power to the music studio applications.
Is such a setup compatible with Norton Ghost 9? I ask because
support staff for SystemCommander8 advised against using
SC8 and Ghost on the same machine. They said these were
incompatible, but I never understood if it was due to the dual boot config or something else particular to SC8.
Ghost is not a boot manager. It has no effect on WinXP's multi-booting functions. System Commander *is* a boot- managing utility. It may not be compatible with WinXP's built-in boot manager, but there's not reason to expect that it wouldn't get along with Ghost as they typically wouldn't be running at the same time. If System Commander changes the boot sectors or MBRs sufficiently that Ghost would be confused, I'd stay away from System Commander.
