Do you have Ghost? It is pretty straighforward if you do. I ghost all the time.

Both Ghost PE and Ghost 2001 will write directly to CDR/CDRW disks from DOS with a clean boot. If you use CDRW disks than the disks have to be fully formatted - quick format will supposedely give problems.

I made a batch file for this as follows...

ghostpe.exe @cdrive.txt


[under is the cdrive.txt file - please dont place these REM statements in the final txt file]

rem for source HDD being the first drive src=1
rem second drive src=2
rem second partition on first drive src=1:2

rem if the writer is first cd drive dst=@cd1
rem for second cd drive dst=@cd2


-clone,mode=dump,src=1,dst=@CD1
-span
-split=650
-z5

another options is to get partition magic 6..use this to create another partition...then you can use ghost.
