    ghost copying

     
    can i copy the hard drive of a machine in my network, and use it as my primary drive when i reboot?

    I'm currently running windows 98 and the other machine runs win xp.

    will it work?

    Nope. One cd key per machine.

    Then there's the part about the hardware and drivers probably aren't the same.

    If the XP machine needs to be restored then you're good to go

    If you have a volume key then you can install it on different machines! Mainly ghost is used to back up one primary machine in a home environment as steve stated
