My laptop is on its last leg I believe, and I anticipate changing soon. It'd be great if the Ghost image backups I've made can simply go onto the new replacement laptop I plan to buy. Both operating systems (old and new) will be Win XP Pro. 2 questions: 1) Will Ghost work like this, or is it only for the same machine? 2) Should I order a plain jane vanilla PC (re: software-installed, not hardware) because it'll just be wiped out by the Ghost image? This is one of those scenarios where I've been using Ghost but have yet to try and restore from it. (Yeah, I know....<g>) tia! -- Michael J.
