What is the purpose of Norton Ghost. When runnng WinXP cant you just create a restore point (wich i guess is what Norton Ghost does). And, say, if I had a bad HD, a worn out bearing but still working, couldnt I just install the second HD and then drag and drop the entire c: drive to the new HD?

Norton Ghost is a wonderful software for those who have to make identical computers i.e. with same content and software on multiple machines. It allows you to duplicate the entire HDDs onto other HDDs. If you have multiple PCs with same Hardware devices, and wanna run same software, Ghost is the best one for you.
Reg. your question of copying HDD, I dont think It will copy system area. So that will cause your other HDD to not to boot.

The benefits of Norton Ghost is to be able to recover from a catastrophic loss of your hardware like a laptop lost or stolen or a bad hard drive.
Drive Image and Ghost can restore a computer by doing a Bare Metal Backup. Lost computer? replace it with the same model and restore your data and you're up and running in a couple of hours.

norton ghost creates a bootable image of your operating system and all the files on your hard. acronis true image is another program that will back up the entire drive too. thats the one i use.
