I have a master macbook with OSX and Bootcamp Windows XP Pro.
I have CCC and Winclone, please tell me where I am going wrong.

Installed OSX on MacBook #1.
Installed Windows XP Pro with Bootcamp on MacBook #1 with NTFS Partition.
Installed Bootcamp Drivers for Windows XP Pro on MacBook #1.
Used CCC to clone MacBook #1 to MacBook #2.
Used Winclone to create image file of MacBook #1 Windows Partition.
Transfered Image file from MacBook #1 to MacBook #2 via Thumb drive.

Here is where I get lost.

How do i create the Windows Partition on MacBook #2 to restore the winclone Image file?
 
It seems to me that the easiest way would be to just do the clone restore of the Mac OSX partition on a single partitioned disk (obviously GUID partition table and Mac OS Extended partition), then boot from it and run the Boot Camp Assistant just far enough to establish an appropriate size Windows partition, then quit the Boot Camp assistant. Then run WinClone to restore the Win image to that partition.
