Why would you need to partition or format, it's a partition image and
just going to overwrite it? Also why bother with wasting a HDD long term
when a DVD-R can hold a full install of windows XP from a 4-6GB
partition compressed using True Image?

This is unusual. I do not have this problem every time. It most often
occurs when I am doing a trial run to just see if it will work. A few
months ago I had to replace a hard drive that was only 3 months old on
a new build. I keep ghost clones on hard drives with 10 partitions
each (this serves 10 customers per drive) of my tweaked Windows XP
installations. These clones (no compression) average from 3 to 5 GB,
depending on how many things I install etc. I simply partitioned and
formatted a new hard drive for my customer and ghosted (I guess we
still call it Real DOS Mode as I did not boot into Windows XP) her
clone to her new C Drive partition. Presto! Her computer booted into
Windows XP with her new hard drive. This saved me 3 hours of
in-warranty labor! I was a very happy camper!
