Have this rather peculiar problem.When I took over my pc it came with XP Pro which i due to some misbehaviour spoiled...did a format and installed HomeXp instead...Now,the thing is that I have on partiton D a ghost image from the initial Xp Pro without the Ghost prog itself...However from a friend I got Ghost.exe on a bootable floppy and what I´m now thinking of is to make a ghost floppy restore from the existing ghost image to a new primary partiton and then be able to use dual OS with the help of Acronis Disk Dir Suite+OS Selector...
I´ve started the ghost floppy but when I´m trying to click on the destination it´s dimmed out...It´s visible but not applicable...Is this possible or not? If it is how...?

I'm not familiar with Fujitsu system but like most brand name computers, the image on your drive D may be the restoration that you use to restore the system. I don't know what you are trying to do with it using the Ghost floppy. Does the manual explain anything?

Well,I,ve created a new primary partition (Z)NTFS,can see it in ghost.exe 8.02 corp. ed. floppy in (D)logical partition,but it´s dimmed out and I´m not able to move the image from D to Z...The active prim part C and logical partions are however available(as it seems)...
Ok,one can wonder why I´m bothering with this issue,just feel it´s a pity not to use a fully functional XP Pro image and with Acronis Os selector it should come in handy...
Got also a new idea: it seem as the logical partitions are available...Is it possible to create a new logical small partion,restore the image to this one,after that in Acronis Disk Dir Suite move it to prim part(Z) and like that make it operational ?
The helpfile in Ghost floppy gives nothing in this intellctual challenging issue...
Would appreciate useful knowledge and comments...
