You could always copy the content to another HD, if you have a small spare one (6GB)

Norton Ghost?

Norton Ghost has been known to be un-reliable. My mom used to use that for her business. Her hard drive crashed in her main PC and lost everything. Ghost images were corrupted.

Better than Ghost

I use norton's ghost.
I configure Windows to how I want it, and then use Ghost.

Using Ghost beats having to spend hours re-installing every thing.

Bah. With Windows I always prefer to reinstall everything. A fresh install always runs smoother. I backup important data on another HDD.

Funny. Norton's security tools suck, but their Ghost program rules
