Hello everyone. I am having a problem ghosting a HD using Ghost

I have a 40GB HD split into 2 patitions which both boot:
Partition #1= 20GB (Windows XP Pro)
partition #2= 20GB (Ghost Image) Rebuild Computer.

What I'm trying to achieve is dual boot after POST, opt1 boots Windows XP like normal opt2 re-images partition 1 with ghost image.

Ghost Image exists on partition 2, basically you need to configure boot.ini expression to grab the image and dump onto partition 1. What I'm having problems knowing is what expression to write to re-image partition 1 by using the ghost image on partition 2.

Please Help!

Thanks

Marc

I'm using Norton Ghost.

The answer I'm after... can Norton Ghost be an option in 'dual boot', my understand is the syntax within boot.ini file needs editing to boot Norton Ghost.

Basically when boot loader runs you'll have two options,
1. Load Windows XP Professional
2. Load Norton Ghost

Could you please let me know how to achieve problem.

Thanks
Marc
