I've been thinking about ditching Windows XP Home Edition and installing my spare copy of Windows XP Professional. I've created a ghost file with Norton ghost that saves all my files/settings. Since i was running Home Edition when i used Norton ghost to save my settings/files would it be possible to use them on Win XP Professional?

Isn't the point of Ghost that it transplants the entire system, OS and all? In which case you'd basically be reinstalling XP Home again when you used your Ghosted copy.

Me, I just burn everything I want to keep to CD and reformat. Luckily, I only have to do this every few years. =)

Crap,I totally forgot about that. Mm.. I wonder if there is any other way besides getting the important information and burning it to a disk. Perhaps some program that compresses all your files like Norton ghost but without the operating system as well.
