For anyone who's interested--here's a link:  Star-Tools

However, doesn't appear to be a *free* program--$25 after 30 day trial!

The set up works great: Windows on 1st partition, image (not final image) on 2nd partition. BartPE on 3rd. But its not perfect !!

Ghost was giving me the error:
EstimateFatClusterUsed: Unknown fat_type: 0

I found it was caused by the BartPE partition. Why? I don't know ! I derived a work-around solution. I put a plugin of
Symantec Partition Magic 8
. Booted into BartPE, formatted the partition that hosts BartPE.
Once BartPE is loaded into RAM, you can do anything to the partition
. Finally I succesfully restored the ghost image from the 2nd partition.

After booting into the restored Windows, I have to do the
PE2USB
command to restore the BartPE installation !! Phew! Do I have to do this every-time?

This is a
hard-nut-to-crack
!? Based on my analytics, whether you format the partition with a proper partitioning tool before you install BartPE, BartPE will reconstruct/reconfigure the partition !

The million dollar question:How does this get fixed ?
