    Don't partion cloning programs usually just wipe the existing partition and put the saved one over the top ? so it would not matter what was there before hand , afterwards it would be NTFS.

    I haven't used a recent version of ghost so I don't know if it can merge the existing data on the drive with the data on the image.

    It'll be back as NTFS, I believe, as it overwrites at a lower level(As Cap'n' said)... but um, why FAT + XP?
