copying system partition...

[Big Bwana]

Howdy all,

Here's the story, I can't get partition magic 5.01 or drive image to copy my system partition. pq magic won't give me the option (it's a dynamic disk) and drive image creates an 'unreadable' partition.

Can I just copy and paste everything from the system partition to the new drive? Something in the back of my head is telling me no...all I want to do is to change my sytem partition to ntfs from fat32 (without using the 512byte convert c: command).

Any suggestions?

Have you tried Norton ghost? Works for me every time..

ugh, for the life of me I can't get ghost to work. I can set it up so that I can clone a partition on my machine to another machine, but now hard drive.

maybe I should buy a real copy...
