"Norton Ghost just saved my ass completly though, I made an image of what I thought was a dying hard disc and the next week lo and behold it died. Restored it all onto a new drive in 30 mins"

Did you just copy the data or the XP and programs too? If the latter, how did you deal with Windows Product Activation?

I tried Norton Ghost to clone to a new disk drive and found it would only boot once ok and then it hung on the "WELCOME" screen after that. This is due to the config of the computer being changed so the product authorisation key for the machine becomes invalid.
