| I have installed Win2K server onto another partition on my harddrive and instead of re-installing it and all the drivers again & again what is the best way to back it up so I can just re-image it??
TIA..... | |

| Just to let you know, you might run into some issues with either option listed below, since it is on another partition on the same computer.
Sysprep with Ghost (or another image making software package) would probably be the best option.
RIS would work fine, if you have the hardware available.

| Thanx for the reply
Ghost sounds the better option
What kind of problems? are they solvable?
So would it be beter if the Server installation was on another drive? | |

| The issue with imaging the drive is that since there are multiple partitions and potentially multiple Operating Systems, that you would need to back up all of them. This may consume a lot of space and revert you to data that you may or may not want. Items such as Ghost tend to capture the contents of the drive in the image and overwrite the drive with it's image when the *.GHO is used in the future.
