If the hardware on the new machine is different from the hardware on the machine from which the XP Backup was made, won't this cause problems (drivers & such)? I've never used XP Backup - does it work like Ghost and copy every file on partition C? - what is the difference between them? Please pardon my ignorance, but where is the BIOS stored?

Hello
You might want to try making an XP live CD. Once you have burned the CD,
you must insert it into you CD-ROM drive and boot your computer off the
CD. A minimal version of XP will run directly off off the CD.
To make the CD you will need to download a program called Bart's
Preinstalled Environment. You can learn more at:
