    I am running Windows XP and want to install Norton Ghost 2003. I only have one drive (C) cause my D drive are recovery folders. Do I need to partition my C drive to ghost my computer? If so where can I go to get a step by step description on partitioning? I can handle the ghost part its just the partitioning I am in question about. I have plenty of space. Also can I just ghost to a dvd or is the dvd to small? Any and all help is most deeply appreciated and God Bless. By the way, I have Partition 8 if thats what I have to use but how? I need this done as easy as possible. Jenny

    There is not much point in Ghosting from one partition to another on the same disk. The idea is to have a backup in case of disk failure.

    Yes you can Ghost to DVD. if the Ghost backup needs more than 1 disk it will ask for you to insert more, then you label them 1,2,3 etc.
