It should be possible to recover a Ghost 15 recovery point using a Ghost 14 recovery disk, but why would you want to? Why not just use the Ghost 15 recovery disk?
It is possible to install the SRD on a USB drive. Look at this post for details.
I have a new Dell Win 7 Ultimate machine, 32 bit, and I installed the Microsoft XP Virtual Machine. Bear in mind that Dell has a special hidden boot partition where they store diagnostic stuff.
I want to get Ghost 15, but need to know if I can make a single disk image and whether it will work with the Virtual Machine installed? I don't know whether the XP Virtual Machine acts as a hidden partion.
I found out the hard way that installing the 'live restore' option with Ghost will mess up the hidden dell partion with 14 if you restore.

martinwcole,
What happened? Was this with Win7 and Ghost 14?
Win7 Dells have two hidden partitions. A diagnostics utility partition that is around 80 MB in size and a recovery partition that is around 10 GB in size. The recovery partition is the System, Active partition and it contains the BCD files. This combination of two partitions to restore when upgrading to a larger HD is going to create interesting days for some users.
