Norton Ghost???

Anyone ever used this program?

I got a copy with my Soyo mobo, and am gonna try it on Sunday, but don't know anything about it.

Here's what I want to do with it.

Take the image (freshly formatted, but don't want to do it all over)from a 10 gig partition of my 30 gig Maxtor, and put it on my 15 gig Quantam.

I then want to take the image from my 20.5 gig IBM, and put it on my new 9.1 gig Quantum SCSI HD. Basically just the main OS components (OS, and utilities I use all the time)here folks. I'm taking all my Mp3's, games, pRon and stuff off first.

So is there anything I should know. Will there be a problem going from a bigger drive to a smaller? Even though the actual data will be less then 9.1 gigs? Does it matter that the other drive is faster, and SCSI?

Is the program pretty self explanatory, or am I gonna need to take a class at the local community college?

Thanks in advance.

it's pretty self explanatory... only thing you need to worry about is don't get confused which drive is the source and which one is the target

Ghost will automatically resize the target drive proportion to the source drive.

Example:
if source is 10GB = C drive is 6GB, D drive is 4GB
then target is 20GB = C drive will be 12GB, D drive will be 8GB

if the target is smaller in capacity, then the drive(s) will be smaller.

Thanks zuffy.

I think I know what you mean.

I'll find out late on today, one way, or another.

Now I know exactly what you mean. This program rules. Now I need to use Partition Magic, or a similar program to get rid of the three 5 gig partitions.
