Thanks Lisa. I thought about what you suggested, but I tried a couple
of years ago and xp ran ok, but the games I tried to play on it didn't
run right. Has virtualbox improved 3d support over the last couple of
years?

I'll look into clonezilla and partimage later today. Yesterday I
was using the kde partition manager to resize the ntfs partition
my xp install lived on. Just my luck my linux install crashed.
It's kubuntu 12.04.1 for amd64. Naturally when I got the system
restarted, the ntfs partition was gone. Thankfully testdisk did
recover it, but it still won't boot. Right now I'm moving
everything I want to keep off that ntfs partition.
After that's finished I'll nuke that partition, the only one on
that hard drive. In the next day or two when I get round to it
I'll reinstall xp on a smaller partition that will be just for xp
and any programs I run on it. A second partition on that drive
will be for anything I want programs running on xp to have access to.
Now I have to decide whether to make that other partition ntfs or
ext4 and install a driver on xp that will allow it to see the ext4
partition. Which would be the better option?
thanks

Partimage will do this for you. you can also look up clonezilla as it
is a bootable iso built around this process and some nice scripts to
make it easy to do.

I'm looking for something on linux that would allow me to create image files
to back up partitions. I guess something along the lines of Norton Ghost.
I'm looking for something that's easy to use. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
