I create images not ghost to a mirror drive... the diffrence is you can
(depending on the amount of data on your main hdd) have 2-3 or more
images on one hdd... I've got an old 300mb Original image for win2k w/
nothing loaded except the SP2 patch and Office 2000.  It's quite a bit
easier this way cuz you can just take your corrupted OS dump the image
on it placing you back before the patch was installed.

NEW STARTS here!
How do you "dump the image" back exactly.  Sounds great.  What software do you use?  Does this work over an existing installation of
W2K or XP with other programs installed????   I presume it doesn't and one has to reload all the programs.  Is that what you mean?
In that case the benefit is saving the chunk of time to recreate the drive back to that level?
TIA
Kind regards,
