 I think you will find that the go-back feature
in XP is a worthwhile tool. If you take the backup
partition file and simply copy it to a set of CDs I
think your initial needs will be met. Win XP does
behave quite differently. If you are running batch
files for your XXCOPY uses then you may need to very
carefully test those batch files under XP. One method
is to actually store your batch files in the Windows
directory as that will tend to maintain your path
under all conditions.
