Will Norton Ghost work on an NTFS partition?

Just a question, I've got Win2k setup pretty good here and would like to keep it setup like it currently is, but I'm going to be getting a bigger/faster hard drive this week (going to a 45gb IBM GXP :)), so my Win2k is gonna be moving to that drive. Can I ghost this partition over to the new one? Or is there a program that can just move over the entire contents of the drive (including the windows installation)?

i use ghost all the time on both ntfs and ntfs5 (win2k) systems. works great.

so as long as you have the proggy, you should be golden

I thought only later versions of Ghost handle NTFS. 6.x and above I believe but check first on the Symantec website.

I know this for SURE:

Ghost 5.1c can definitely handle Win2k's NTFS partitions (did it myself a few times, and it workes great).
