Vista and Ghost 2003 . . .

On a dual boot system with XP Pro with Ghost 2003 installed and Vista setup to run on a second partition, a Ghost image made from the XP boot will image BOTH operating systems and allow for the complete restoration of both operating systems? Correct?

    Yes, if you tell it to back-up both partitions to an Image File.

    I've had problems getting Ghost to work properly with Vista. While there are workarounds, it does not work as designed. I'd suggest you experiment before you trust it to anything.
     
    You may have to do a startup repair anytime you restore a Vista image.

    I also just switched to Acronis, and i like it alot better than ghost. With ghost 9.0, i have to do a REPAIR everytime i reload my vista. I guess it does not work right.
