Sounds like a good enough plan. I was just saying that if you wanted to get
your data & the OS/Programs that you could do that all in one backup with
Ghost or TrueImage. You did say you're using XP Home did you not ? Well if
you were using Xp Pro then one could use ASR [automatic system recovery]
that is built into NTbackup but this requires a floppy [who said floppies
are dead?] & some other media.
I know this doesn't apply to you but unfortunately many novices don't know
the difference between a drive & a partition so when their HD dies they may
also lose their data if it is on another partition of the same drive as the
OS. In this case I advocate peeps to relocate all their data to the My
Document folder whether on another partition of the same drive or not to
facilitate doing easier backups.

Unlike most imaging software most backup apps are able to do that.
Otherwise known as an "incremental" backup.
