Installed Windows XP Sp 2.
Installed Norton System Works 2003
And made ghost image of C drive where windows is installed.
Burned that image to DVD(about 2.5 GB) using Norton Ghost(It burned on its own after restarting).

Now if i want to restore that image and i cant access windows XP.
How can i do ??

Yeah sure, Delete it, Set the paging file size to 0 and restart ur comp. This will save u almost 512+768(Approx) space !

Bt it wont make the size of image much smaller as already the compression reduces it to one of the minimal ;)

just set it to zero temporarily so that there wont be any page file in image so it will reduce the content by almost 768 mb or whatever ur paging file size be. And when u r done again set it back to ur older setting
