Drive Imaging / EULA

[Axel]

New to XP here -

Does anybody have any experience using DRIVE IMAGE vs. NORTON GHOST?
We're on Satalite for the internet - WIN98 se, became too problematic
and unreliabel so we switched to XP (Home) for our small network. The main
computer (server?) is the only truly **critical** machine. It MUST work.
Subsequently, we're looking to "disk image" this machine in the event of
failure. Any input would be
appreciated.

Also, I'm lead to believe that it's one copy of XP per machine, correct? We
don't object to purchasing additional software, but I believe I read (this
past week on one of the many Microsoft sites) that one could use it on the
laptop as well. Threads indicate this may be incorrect - once license, one
machine. (Lord - please
don't ask me to find the site). Must admit, the OS, is far more stable.

Thanks so much for your time and attention to this matter.

HEAD FLUNKIE

A lot of people around here use them. I use one of the image tools from
http://www.BootitNG.com which are shareware with full functional trial
for evaluation

It is one per machine. The 'laptop as well' is a concession (in some
cases) for Office, but never for Windows
