After you install Ghost, when you want to make an image of your hard drive, it will reboot your machine and perform its image creation before Windows starts.

You'll need a second hard drive or network drive to save your image to. You can use a DVD also, but that's only if you don't have much data on the disk you're imaging.

If you only have one hard drive, you'll need to repartition it into at least two partitions to dual boot XP and Vista. Make sure the partition you designate for Vista is large enough to hold all the data you currently have on your hard drive.

You can create an image while in Windows. I've done it numerous times, and yes, it works.

Ah, nice. I haven't worked with the newest versions of Ghost, so it's good to see they built this functionality in.

No Problem =).

Ah, yeah.. .if you have an older version of Ghost you won't be able to make an image within Windows. I have Ghost 9, and I'm able to do it within Windows with it, though.
