creating a DISK IMAGE of a xp64 install. ghost

read old thread about 5 times, no real answer lol. Has anyone here been able
to successfully and with little hastle create an image of their 64bit win xp
install? I am currently using the trial version of the software. Standard
install on ata HD. if so, what programs work, and what do i need to do to
create a bootable image of my xp64 install.

thanks,
Dave

Ghost does not work in x64 or from a bootable CD to create a disk image,
only restore.

If x64 is installed another partiton and you have x86 Windows installed
another partition, you can ghost the x64 partition from x86 Windows, right

Interesting,

I have Ghost 2003 on a good old bootable floppy which allowed me to backup
my XP64 installation under DOS. However, one qudo... I have not tried to
restore the image as of this date.

FWIW,
Len

I forgot, older versions of Ghost and Drive Image work from floppies
(depending on the number of partitions you have). Only the latest versions
have become limited to restore only from bootable CD's.
