My problem is I've done a clean install of Win XP Pro and repeated attempts to install SP1 have endedin system lockups that keep my computer from booting up into windows. I'd like to do a backup of a clean install if restoring from the backup would be quicker than doing a fresh install. The Ghost manual isn't clear on whether I can burn a disk image onto CD-R, boot from that and reinstall the operating system and be off and running. They talk about making a boot floppy but they also say you don't need a recovery boot disk if you save the image to CD. Is that correct? Can I just boot off the CD and restore my corrupted windows files?

is your cd key legit? sp1 checks.

you read the manual, that's the easiest way.
