&gt;BML&gt; Please took a nice gander at this:

&gt;BML&gt; The second to last page is in dead tree format on my desk, as it is a
&gt;BML&gt; nice quick reference.  Please note, though, that if you do not tune
&gt;BML&gt; the block size (basically, do it as he wrote it), it may take a while
&gt;BML&gt; to store this image.  But it is reliable.  We use this method with
&gt;BML&gt; difficult laptops/tablets and KNOPPIX cds (if we can get the tablets
&gt;BML&gt; to boot from external CD)

&gt;&gt;My Questions: I may wish to reinstall WinXPHome some day. What is the best
&gt;&gt;way to capture the as-yet unused installation for another system or later
&gt;&gt;installation? Should I be able to repartition my HDD back to WinXP if I
&gt;&gt;    
&gt;&gt;
&gt;need
&gt;  
&gt;
&gt;&gt;to (presumably with the recovery CDs)? How about the MBR?
