Drive Image / Partition Magic / NTFS

You may have answered this and it might be in the manual but I am still a bit confused.

Can I load NT on an NTFS formatted disc without any FAT partitions and still use the above products?

Would I have the following two options?

1) Boot from a floppy with either of the above programs and some DOS files, then proceed with either of the above programs. Will they then "see" the drive allowing me to restore an image from another disc or fiddle with the NTFS partition.

2) Boot from a second or third harddrive formatted FAT or FAT32 with the above products installed on the harddisk itself and then proceed with operations to an NTFS formatted disc?

ps. You might be onto something with the "Windows" modem. I may not proceed myself as I already have "fixed" the problem by buying a new machine. I will follow through and try to determine whether or not it is a Windows modem. To date my procedure for upgrading has been to milk a machine without adding dollars and then upgrade with a totally new machine. I will follow the same procedure with my current machine. It is my intent to make my next machine more user friendly regarding upgrade potential. The big box makers are out of the loop this time.
