this really doesn't go here i believe. BUT is there a way you can view the file structure of windows using linux. if so your best bet would to copy the files like that. reinstall windows and then copy the files back over

Like mentioned earlier, this aint the right section, But i shall post a reply any way!

Norton ghost creates an image of the system that you had, so when your xp was fine, and you imaged it, it creates an exact copy of the system.

Then when your computer goes haywire, you just use the image to replace your computer back to how it was.

Linux won't see it because they are completly different operating systems. If you had windows 2000 and xp then windows 2000 would see it, so it might be worth trying to create a very small partition with 2000 on it, (with enough room for important files from xp) and then copy files from xp to 2000

I hope that this helps you!
If not just pm me and ill see what I can do!
