Backing up System Partition of Win XP SP3

Hi,

I have a WD1600AAJS-22PSA0 WDD , with dual boot system with Ubuntu 9.10 and Win XP SP3.

I want back up just the System Partition of Win XP SP3with Acronis True Image WD Edition Software.

 Can I create an image of this partition, save to dvd, and restore when required ?

Thank you.

Did you try it?  Cause I don’t think you can.  You may have to look for software that specifically works with dual-boot systems.

You might look on the Acronis forum they have a lot of helpful things posted start in the stuff Grover has put up. I think the biggest concern would be the location of the boot files.  If you used DVDs it would take several. It will go to one file on an eexternal HD. Make sure you make the rescue CD first.
