I have 2 physical hard drives in my system. Drive C: is 20 GB IBM with 1 partition containing 5 GB of programs and files. I want to back it up to my second hard drive which is 20 GB Maxtor. I want to have the Maxtor partitioned into 2 10 GB partitions D; and E:, 1 for the backup, the other for Linux (future). If I ghost the image of drive C: can I put it into a 10 GB partition? When you Ghost an image, is it only the used blocks or is it all blocks including empty ones? Can I go into DOS and do a copy from C: to D:? What is best and easiest?
 
You can't just copy from one to the other. You need to Ghost. If you have a second drive you don't have to worry about spanning or anything so you can just run it from dos then use the prompts.
