OK, well, Ubuntu is pretty much on par with Windows XP as far as ease-of-use 
and capabilities go. It's well worth a shot. You download the CD image, burn a 
disk, and try it out. Nothing will be changed on your HD. When you're done, 
just remove the CD and power off the machine. Power up and Windows should boot 
like before.

Having a ghost image of *any* "Mission Critical" machine is not only a *Very 
Good Idea*, I would consider it a *Mandatory* safety net! I would duplicate 
the entire HD onto another, and then keep that other HD in a safe place, 
on-site. (One of those fireproof strongboxes would probably suffice.) When the 
machine's HD finally conks-out, you can swap the HD and be back in business! Then 
just make another ghost. :)

Since AV stores copies of its files on more than one machine on the LAN, 
recovery of those is not too difficult.
