I want to be able to run XP with Roxio GoBack 3.0 Deluxe and have Ark Linux on my PC, but I'm not sure if its possible. Does anyone know if I'd have conflicts with the Linux partition even though other OS's aren't supported? And also, does GoBack protect all drives or just the one its installed on? I appreciate any help you can offer.

I can tell you this, GoBack will not protect more than one hard drive at a time. I have two hard drives on my computer, with two separate operating systems, and GoBack will only protect the hd on which it is installed. And you can't have GoBack installed on both drives, I already tried that. I don't have either of my hard drives partitioned, so I'm not sure about that part.

From the Norton Knowledgebase:

"Norton GoBack is not supported with LILO or dual-boot Linux/Windows partitions."
