| 364775 | 2005-06-17 14:31:00 | Hello I have a Dell 3700 laptop and I recently installed Norton 2003 I backed up the image on to a network drive. The drive I backed up had 2 partitions the operating system is Win Xp Home Upgrade One partition was unknown and only had off the top of my head was720 kb so I am guessing that would be a boot partition? It backed up the drive with no errors all the files where intact when I viewed them through Norton explorer. I purchased a larger hard drive and I would like to restore the image including the operating system on to the new drive over the network. I did try to install the operating system first on the new drive it went so far then it stop working and it rebooted. I ended up with missing dill’s Now I some reading and before I proceed I have view questions I hope will be answered. Now I know I need to make a boot floppy with all the networking information. 1. When I put in the new hard drive will I need to partition the new drive first 2. If I do partition the new drive should I over write the partition when I am trying to restore the image. 3. Will I need to repair XP for it to boot from the new drive Thanks |

Depends how you created the image - did you image partitions? Or Drive? If drive, just Ghost selecting drive from image. It will notice the size difference and ask you to confirm if you want to use the new drives full size. |
