Image a single partition?

[kpschroeder]

I have a 20GB HD that has three partitions on it. I've been using it
at work for experimental XP images. I have created a suitable image on
the middle partition of this HD and would like to create an image
rather than documenting everything I've done and re-creating it from
scratch.

Is it possible to create an image of this partition with other XP
installations residing on the HD?

Could I use a third party partitioning software to remove the other
partitions and expand the one I would like to use creating a single
partition?

Ghost, from Symantec, and probably any other reputable imaging software
will do this.

BootitNG is freeware, and works great for this. Left side of page, this

You might also try "Image for Windows" from the same page, for the imaging.
[I have haven't used it though, as I have Ghost.]
