From: "Ned F. Reiter" 

Glenn,

Partition Magic hasn't failed me yet.  I've used it for years and
never lost a bit of data.  If the drive letters get changed, I'll just
change them back.  I have mostly assigned drive letters anyway so I expect
to have to do that.  I have a second bootable XP on the first drive, so I
will copy those partitions over first (those letters are C:, D:,E:, so
shouldn't change) then when I can boot to that XP install, I'll copy the
other drive over.

If all fails, then I'll get Ghost.
