Ghost Problems....
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: vertigo235

About to copy critical B drive to new replacement B drive.

Are the Norton Ghost problems iscolated to A drives only? Should have problems with the "special" partitions when copying a B drive?

If the copy is unsuccessful and I put my new B drive with my A drive, can I try again? Or is this going to be a one shot thing.

If you have a two drive unit, the only way to upgrade it is to use MFSTools. Ghost has nothing to do with it and won't help. Imaging the B drive with anything and restoring it to a larger B drive won't work.

If you aren't upgrading, but replacing a flakey B drive, you can probably use ghost, but there are special parameters you need on the command line to force ghost into a dumb, sector-by-sector mode.

I don't remember them offhand, but search and you should find them. E-mail me if you still can't find 'em.
