I think your best to use Ghost from a dos boot floppy disk and make 
an image of your NT partition onto an attached hard disk device, 
eg Jaz disk etc...

I haven't heard of a backup solution to backup NT from another partition 
on the same hard disk...

If you want I'll send you a copy or buy it from Symantec corp...
