Seagate external 160GB partitioning for use with two different P.C.'s

[knualla]

Wish to use Seagate 160GB external drive as backup/storage for a Windows XP P.C. and a Windows 2000 professional laptop. Don't need partitions to be bootable. Both formatted as NTFS. Is this possible? If so please advise as to how to accomplish and best application software to use.
Thank you,
Ken

If the xp is the pro version ,you can use the msbackup
included in the os .

I have been testing it with ARS lately , and i think it
works relly well.
Total crash recovery also works fine with an additional asr diskett in addition to the bck file.

Other good options is of course powequest driveimage
and norton ghost .
(cost you though)

Just make sure the backupdrive is ntfs ,or file sizes over 4gb can't be made (FAT32 limit)
