Just make sure you get all the patches and updates before you do it, you should be ok.

thanks again .

is there a facility to create a floppy boot disk for xp like you can do with 98/me ?

If so how is it done .

You can't make them you have to download them.

nice one m8 .

are those setup floppys it creates only for setting up xp , or is it also like me boot disk that had help files etc ?

I don't know as I haven't used them.

I'd have said they are boot disks, with loads of drivers and help files.

You can get into dos (of sorts) by booting from the XP setup cd. Take the option for the recovery console (you need the administrator pwd). Haven't tried running ghost from it though.
I just have a Win98SE boot disk I use for Ghost.
