Hi all,

Just got Norton Ghost 2002, and a new 60GB hard drive. I'm currently using a 20GB hard drive, and want to put everything on that (clone image) on the new 60GB so I can sell the old 20GB.

My question is, when I put the 20GB image on the new 60GB hard drive, will the new hard drive only recognize up to 20GB, or will I have the full 60GB (old 20GB stuff plus all the extra space on the new 60GB drive)? Also, will doing this create any extra partitions on the new 60GB drive (i prefer to only have 1 partition in the full amount of the drive space).

Hope this makes sense :eek:

Thanks.

partition your new drive first. Then you can use ghost to copy the partitions on your 20 gig drive to the 60 gig drive. If your 20 gig has 1 partition and you make the 60 gig one with only one partition then you can do a partition to partition copy in ghost and end up with all the data in the 20 gig drive in on 60 gig partition.

Ghost will proportionally replicate the source drive on the target drive. So will DriveImage and DriveCopy. No partitioning or formatting necessary.
