how to clone an entire of a hard drive into a new same size hard drive?

[nguyenminhtung]

here is my situation:
I have one IBM 60GB got some hundred KB bad sectors in my last partition. I have 5 partitions, first and second partition use for installing OS and app softs. So my last partition is just use to store junk stuffs.

- I just obtain an RMA number from IBM, now I want to clone that hard drive to a new hard drive, same size.
Please show me how to do that. I have Norton Ghost 7.5 here, but never try to clone hard drive before. so if you have done it before or experience about this matter, please share.
Thanks, any comment would be appreciated

Just create the Norton Boot Disk, and use that to start your computer. Go to create Image and just click on the appropriate options. You have the option of backing up to a CD-R/CD-RW or backing up to a network (not sure if you can do that in your version). Hope this helps.

Except he doesn't want to create a backup image, he wants to copy the data from one drive to another. There is another option to copy one drive to another, unfortunately I can't remember what the option is called but you will see it when you boot with the Ghost boot disk.

if norton ghost doesn't work out...
try partition magic.

i do have norton ghost... but never used it,
'cause partition magic, my first love worked so well.

Install both drives and using Ghost do a "disk to disk" copy. Couldn't be easier.
