Drive Image 2002 will back up SP1a - but there doesn't seem to be a way to restore
without dorking up the license.
Example - a drive crashed, so I rebuilt an XP Pro system on an old 20GB drive. Then
I installed SP1 and all the administrative updates. Then, using Drive Image 2002,
an image was made of the "clean" install - which I then tried to restore to a larger
drive. The system the drive was in was identical save for the hard drive being different.
XP loads from the restore. Sort of. It then complains that the license can't be
verified or some such rot. So much for using Drive Image to move XP to a larger
drive.
Confounded WPA. If there's a way around this foolishness, it would be welcome news.
