Would this work even though the HD is changing? Let me get this straight. Dual-boot, but don't activate. Test up to 30 days. When everything is working install to the new HD?

I use Ghost 2001. Works great. Just hope it will work with XP. I don't plan on using NTFS for home use. My wife doesn't use the computer all that much (she's computer literate enough to know not to just delete anything), and I don't have an always-on Internet connection.
