I have windows xp pro sp2 installed.
I have two hard drives. windows xp on c. I have made a norton ghost image of the partition c and kept it on a partition on the 2nd hard drive. Upto now I have used this partition specifically for these norton ghost images. Never put my data on this partition.
Problem is that I am running out of space though I know I can manage to recover a few gb's by deleting downloaded useless material but dont have the time becuase I will need to check everything first.
My question-- can I put my data on this partition containing the ghost images ? I am under the impression that most people dont do it because they think that it might corrupt the ghost images and they keep seperate partition for ghost images.
what do you suggest .....thanks in advance....

u can do that
alternatively use partition magic to resize partitions, but this is more perilous than simply using that partition for gen. storage.

why so many images????

gttx

never heard of corruption bcz of other data. data is data. the pc is not human it cant tell whats sitting next to it

the images should not get corrupted technically. Because each data is stored at separate location, and is not overwritten on previous existing data.

I have only two images. One has only xp while the other has xp with drivers and updates . Free space is about 14 gb.
