    Hi everybody!! :) Please help me solve this problem on my T400!

    At first, my T400 has Windows vista and then I install Windows Xp. I use vista boot pro to make a dual boot with my laptop.
    The problem is: Can I make a ghost file (using hiren boot) for each OS ? so when XP or Vista is failed I can use that ghost File normally???????? :confused:

    (XP is failed-> ghost for XP-> can vista work normally?) :confused:
    (Vista is failed-> ghost for vista-> can XP work normally?) :confused:

    You can get very close by using Norton Ghost's Partition to Image clone method, then clone image to partition back when one fails. This may or may not boot right up once you do it, at the very worst you will have to do a startup repair from your Vista disc.

    How often does your OS "fail"?
    Either way, like I said it will be mostly flawless and the worst you will have to do is boot the Vista DVD and run "startup repair."
