i've ran fdisk on all three hdds that i will be installing into their respective pc's.

only the xp pc is has me a little nervous.

if my ghost program floppy functions properly, then i will have these three pc hdd's mirrored onto new drives and ready to swap places inside each pc.

does fdisk set the drive up for fat 32 when you pick the enable large disk support?

and if so, i assume ghost will have no trouble copying ntfs over the fat32 as long as a valid partition exists?

i'm a little wary of xp and ntfs since this will be the first hdwe changeover i've done with such.

[also, the fact that the xp system recovery cd is missing doesn't help.]
