    Hi

    I have been thinking about trying to learn how to ghost my drive for a while.

    I regulary re-install windows to keep everything neat and tidy... but I have to do it from the recovery partition on my drive (or an equivalent disc).

    This means I have to restore factory settings, install all my software, uninstall, some of the Acer stuff I don't want, download a bunch of updates, change my custom settings etc etc.

    1) Does Norton Ghost let me 'copy' my drive so that next time I just boot my PC with my Norton disc and it does all of the above for me?
    2) Can I ghost multiple partitions separately (I have all my mp3's on a separate partition)
    3) Any other software recommended for this?

    Thanks !

    Kevin
