    I am about to completely redo my hard drive on my laptop and when I am done I want to be able to save the entire hard drive as a backup image so if I ever decide to revert back to a fresh install, it will be readily available.
    I am creating a 160 gb partition (well, technically 149 gb) to exactly match the drive on my laptop on my external USB 2.0 hard drive.
    Now, to do something like this, should I use Norton Save & Restore or Norton Ghost?
