Back up, reinstall

Guys,

If I use Ghost v.10 and create a backup, and need to dump Vista and
reinstall XP, can I use the image from Ghost and get back to where I was
before I installed Vista?

Thanks1

Re: Back up, reinstall

This should work since that is what Ghost is designed to do.

Are you familiar with Ghost? You should know how to use the product and
test it to make sure it does what you want before you trust it with a
critical recovery step.

Make SURE when you reinstall that you check the option to restore the MBR.
