That should read, to copy NT/2000/XP on/to NTFS C: partitions. 
Works okay for FAT.  For NT 4.0, the "recovery" disk works for
SP1-5, but SP6[a] introduces a new bootstrap that canNOT be
recreated with the boot disks (even if you made a recovery disk).

BTW, I haven't tried many times with 2000/XP yet, but a free 3rd
party utility I tried didn't work (PowerQuest's DriveImage works
well though).  I couldn't figure out how to do it with the 2000/XP
disks (I haven't been running 2000/XP much yet, mainly an old NT
3.1-4.0 guy).
