I have XP on C: and Vista on G: in a dual boot configuration. Is it possible to do away with xp and load an image of my G: drive to C:? If so what extra steps do I need to take?
Thanks,

That should work fine as Vista sees itself as being on drive C (unless you installed Vista from within Windows XP). Depending on what imaging/restore software you're using, it's usually necessary to restore to a drive/partition of the same size or larger and with the same drive letter as that from which the image was taken.

You may need to run a startup repair by booting to the Vista DVD and then selecting Repair your computer at the Install now setup screen, and then select Startup Repair from the menu that appears, but I don't think so.

I can get the disk to boot but it hangs at prepairing desktop. I am using Norton Ghost and have been using it for years to restore my disks so I dont think it is an image issue. I would guess it is some kind of problem due to installing the OS on a partition other than partition 0 on drive 0. I did not intsall the second OS from within the first, but rather booting from the DVD.

Thank,
