Norton Ghost 2003 Problem

[leonidas]

I ve done a totally clean installation of my xp and now I want to back it up or clone it with norton ghost. But I think I can t do anything as I only have one partition on my HardDisk.
What should I do ? :o

Thanks in advance. ;)

I finally choosen to burn the backup files on cds.
It worked apparently well but it s a bit strange cos my harddisk used space is 3.74 GB and the backup fit in only 4 cds.
So I m not sure if all my programs my setting and tweaks were saved. I wonder if I didnt just saved my OS and nothing more.
Could someone tell please. :huh:

dont worry all r saved

i have never used ghost to back up before so this is a guess...maybe it uses compression?

[leonidas]

Yes I already guessed it could be that. But I just wanted to be very sure :huh: .
Thanks a lot to you. :) :) I think I m goin to enjoy my perfect computer 4 a long time. :rolleyes: :lol:
