Solve : restore partition?

1.	Solve : restore partition?
Answer» I don't know if this is the right forum to post this, but it seemed LIKE the best fit... I've got a laptop (1 HDD, 2 partitions) that I would like to create a "restore partition" on (like Toshiba provides on their laptops). The idea is to have one partition with the image file (along with ghost, and some kind of OS like DOS) and the other with Windows. I want to be able to boot into the "restore partition" and restore the Windows partition. How do I do this? -darrylYOU CAN USE norton ghost for this issue i THINK this will help u in ur problamQuote from: atulsingh001 on August 14, 2008, 06:37:38 AM YOU CAN USE norton ghost for this issue i think this will help u in ur problam I think he already KNOWS that Use partitioning software to shrink the 2ND partition, then create a new FAT32 partition in the space made available, then boot with a DOS floppy or pen drive and run Ghost to make an image of your system partition in that partition. In my opinion, you would be better off using an external hard drive to store the Ghost image, as if anything goes wrong with the disk, your recovery partition will be hosed too. I used to use the Ghost to backup patiton when it's in good conditions, and restore it when the system did not perform so well. I think the way of he use the image file and my way are almost the same
