Tech question,

I have an NTFS drive running XP Pro. I want to make a drive copy of it to another hard drive (emtpy), not just the data the entire filesystem. I have some old DOS shit for FAT32 that does block by block drivecopy, but it doesn't read NTFS. Any suggestions? I have Drive Copy by the asscracks who make Partition Magic but I'm leery since the last time I tried to use it not only did it blitz my destination drive but it fucked the registry on my source drive.

Have you tried Ghost?

I know some of the lads at the office have extolled the virtues of Ghost from their personal experiences. Myself, I've never needed to do that with a drive (well, not in a very long time anyway...) so I've no suggestions for you, Cal - sorry :(

Perhaps Eric can chime in - I think he mentioned Ghost to me as well.... :awinky:
