Hi List, i put together a mini-howto on cloning a XP-installation and making the clones multibootable. The idea is to copy (using ntfsclone) a fresh/clean XP-installation to two additional partitions on the same HD. The new ones should then get customised for special purposes like gaming or testing stuff. Then i'd like to create some images of these XP-clones so that i can easily reset them if^Wwhen they get messed up. I got stuck two times trying to achieve this. The first time Anton Altaparmakov - i gues he's well known around here 8-) - gave me some good advice in the linux-ntfs.org-forum.[1] And after being on the wrong track several times for several weeks i found some very useful Information on Dan Goodells website[2]. In his excellent text: Understanding Multibooting[3] Since i had some difficulties finding the info and my setup doesn't seem _that_ exotic to me i thought that it would be worth the effort to write a mini-howto about the whole procedure. I put it up at [4] Comments welcome. Please CC me since i'm not on the list.
