Re: Backup Question > Would this work?

If the partition was EXACTLY the same size as the Dell imaged partition, it may install. The drivers will be all wrong though.

 OK, let's assume the partition was exactly the same size, simple enough. Wouldn't XP just report that some drivers were missing and offer to look for the missing drivers on the Net?

Why would the partition size make a difference, assuming the partition size was not bigger than the drive that the image was being loaded to?

For example, let's say the image was originally from a 20 GB partition, and the image was being loaded to a 40 GB partition...couldn't I just use Partition Magic to enlarge the partition once the image was loaded?

Thanks!
