The m.p.w.basics MVPs suggested I post this here.
I made a drive image of my Master drive XP......
and recreated it on another hard drive, to use as
a backup for when the Master dies, as has been
known to happen. It's a nice copy, clean, the
right size and all that. The question is, how do
I make it bootable? I mean, I want to be able to
substitute that hard drive bodily for the Master,
and have it boot just like the Master. Let me add
that in addition to the 5 GB XP in that partition,
there is something on that drive (according to
Partition Magic) labeled 'unallocated 7.8 MB,
primary' and not active. Thank you.
