tried to make boot disks for ghost, but it says missing bootsect.dat, maybe
need to re-install, but i did that, and still doesn't work... actually,
there is no install files, it just unpacks into it's directories, maybe
thats the prob. i thought win xp had something built in for changeing hdd's,
some upgrade portability thing? no?

Thanks,
