DUMP it in drive C.. is this possible? if yes, what are

You'll also need to change the 100's (or more) registry entries for the
operating system and any installed programs to point to the correct drive
letter.
 
Actually most things in the registry point to %systemroot% and not a hard
coded directory or they point to %systemdrive% and not a hard coded driver
letter.

As far as needing a version of Ghost that is not available, that is not
true. I Ghost NTFS partitions all the time with no problem using ghost 7.5
or later.

Hi Jasper,
Please see the following KB article for information about one issue you'll
almost certainly encounter (you can fix this before moving the
installation):

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;249321

Basically, you'll need to remove the hard-coded path to the file
userinit.exe from the Registry key.

Initially, the value will look something like this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\Winlogon\Userinit:Reg_SZ:C:\WINNT\system32\userinit.exe

Change it to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\Winlogon\Userinit:Reg_SZ:userinit.exe
