No with a GHOST image, but yes if it a VMWARE or QEMU image.

Once you have the hang of it - you'll never lose it - I believe PCLOS is good !!

Hello from Salim,
Yeah, Olycomputers is right, most of what is proposed is illegal - as of MS Eulas. If your CD is Bart PE then its unattackable if you made it yourself from your legal Windows XP....

Again the PCLinuxOS can do it but for that you need a USB in FAT32 (which they usually are !) - So copy the data wanted to the USB key - and save it to some other disk and continue until you...

So tell me how it goes

Knoppix is a live CD it works in memory without touching your disk - by default disks are its read-only. Need 1G of Memory for someboy new to it (but I've made it work in 386 M.) depends on which...

Use knoppix or better PCLinuxOS - if you don't know howto get a friend knowing to do it
