To do the restore you will first have to install XP onto the drive and then
get the Ntbackup to rstore over the top off its self. As far as I remember
you can't restore to a separate drive as the MBR won't be restored.
To do that you need to havve take an image of the drive using imaging
software and restore that.
Personally I'd just build again from scratch.
