Using Norton Ghost 9 To Clone My C:\ Drive

What I plan on doing is making a clone of Drive #1 (my C:\ drive) to Drive #2 making Drive #2 bootable. This will make Drive #2 my C:\ drive. After the clone, I will make sure that Drive #1 is disconected from the computer. This should make the computer boot off of Drive #2 which is now my C:\ and leave a bootable copy of the drive (Drive #1) in my machine for backup. I will have to open my machine to switch the drives but it will be a solid backup solution.

Does this sound like the thing to do or do you have another suggestion?

Thanks

i have tried that, you can not have 2 os on a single drive, you have to do a partitioned of your c:drive and use the less space for booting up, you have to disconnect the clonned drive, if its connected, once you start up your comp, you will get an error msg. since the cloned drive will now become a c: drive and your int. drive is also a c: drive, in my opinion it's better to clone your int. drive to a bigger drive and swap it, then you can use your ( old )int. drive as a back-up/boot drive
