    Hi,

    I got my new M1330 yesterday with Vista basic. I want to Ghost the drive that's in it, and then format and install XP. I thought I'd have no problem sourcing in depth info on this. Can someone direct me to where I can get information on this?

    Thanks for the link Achilles, but that thread is about ghosting XP images. I want to know if there any special considerations ghosting Vista installations.

    I personally use Vista Ultimate's image back up, but Acronis image back up is pretty good too from what I have read-Acronis was fairly cheap from Ebay when I got one, but stopped using it after I got Ultimate.
