I have just bought a Dell PC. The PC has a 80Gb drive which has been configured as a single partition

.I would like to split the disk and have 2 separate partiton

(1 for operatin system information and program files and the other for storing data).

The Dell Pc comes with a PC restore facility. Basically you boot up the PC press CTRL+F11 and you can reimage your PC back to the state as it was delivered to you ( I think that this information is stored on the MBR). I intend to use GHOST to ghost the drive and the use partiton magic to split the disk. My question is that will GHOST backup everything including what is on the MBR. Also, is this a good way to go about this or can someone suggest otherwise.
