Ghosting from ATA to SCSI

[Steve]

I want to replace the 120GB ATA hard drive in my current system with a 36GB 15k SCSI I also have, so the 120 will go in my other system.

First of all, how, if at all, can I ghost partitions? the 120GB (really 111) has an 11GB C: with Win2k Pro SP4 and all my programs installed on it. The remainder, D:, is simply a storage partition.

I want to partition the SCSI similarly. fdisk reports it as 35004MB, so I want to use 5004MB for my C: and the remainder for a D: storage partition. Will Ghost allow me to do this?

The other question is how/when do I get the SCSI cards' drivers installed? Normally (on a blank drive) you run setup and have to present floppies at the F6 prompt. Would I have to re-run setup and do this, with a repair install? The cards I have are an LSI U160 (for my HD) and an LSI 20860 (for my optical drives).

you wont be able to use the iamge of the 120GB drive on the SCSI drive. Windows probobly wont even boot up.
ghosting is usually ment to backup a computer and not to transfer between two different machines (which is what going from ATA to scsi is in essence)
switching from ATA to scsi usually requires an entire reinstall doing the whole F6 thing from the base

I'd check the site for the maker of the SCSI drive for a 'transfer' utility. They may offer a free utitily that will allow imaging the ATA drive contents directly onto the SCSI drive.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! I'll look into that after work. It's an IBM Ultrastar "Pirahna" (36Z15) so I'll check http://www.hgst.com
