Nothing different. Just image your system with the same regular method. And burn the image into some CD-R(W).Don't forget to make the CD-R bootable.I also recommend putting the "ghostpe.exe" onto the CD-R. It will work fine.

Norton Ghost images NTFS partitions very well. For Win2000 i.e. NTFS v 5.0 you can use 'Norton Ghost 2001'. No need of purchasing Norton Ghost 2002. It has no new feature except that of its compatibility with WinXP.

""It has no new feature except that of its compatibility with WinXP.""

I still use Ghost 5.1 (199?) for all my needs and it works fine with ALL MS OSs without any compatibility issues.

I didn't used the word 'compatibility' in the sence you are assuming. Ghost 5.1 can image a partition with any version of windows installed. You might have noticed no problems at all.
But you cannot get support from Symantec for the compatibility of Norton Ghost 5.1 or any other version except Norton Ghost 2002 for Windows XP. Why???

Because when you restore your partition with Ghost, it formats your hard drive with the same file system that the partition was using at the time of imaging. When you image WinXP partition with Ghost 5.1, it assumes that the file system on the partition is NTFS 5.0. And it restores the partition with NTFS 5.0. But the file system that Win XP uses is 5.1.
And that's all what I & Symantec means.
