    Thanks for the references. I'm familiar with those options but was curious what cool had done in his case.

    Do you happen to know if a Windows Home server backup of the XP and Win7 drives in a dual boot enviroment would restore using the Windows Home server restore CD? My dual boot system is backing up (both drives) but I've never had to use the restore option with this system.

    Thanks again !

    It should, but it's always best to have a secondary backup like Acronis free version or Macrium, especially if you're using a Dual Boot. Win7 backup imaging can be cantankerous.
