Preparing Hard Disk for Full Restore Question

[Guest]

Hi,

If I'm setting up Windows 2000 on a fresh hard drive to do a full system
recovery,

1) Do I have to partition the hard drives to the same size?
2) Do the partition types have to be the same as the previous configuration
(FAT, NTFS)?
3) If I previously had software mirrored physical disks, do I have to have
the same in order to
restore my data?

Thanks,

Do

Do

1) No
2) No, but restoring from NTFS to FAT will not include permissions or, for
instance, data streams.
3) No
