   BK> I just replaced my stepson's hard drive with a larger one. I   
   BK> used Norton ghost to do it, the 32 bit version that runs in   
   BK> windows. It's the enterprise edition.   
      
   BK> Normally I use my old version that runs only in dos, but his   
   BK> computer only has a provision for 1 HD, and that version is not   
   BK> real good with USB. If he had a cable with two plugs, or I could   
   BK> find my spare, I could have done it easily. I was in a hurry so   
   BK> I took three times as long to do it than if I had just waited to   
   BK> find the right cable. Dang!   
      
   BK> However, with Ghost, made an image, then wrote it to the new   
   BK> drive. And he got the new drive running immediatly, and the   
   BK> image is stored on a second partition.   
      
   In those cases I use an USB adapter with a power cube, I have both SATA   
   and PATA adapters.   
      
   Second Partition storage of critical data and Images is a Crap Shoot.   
   Where are you if the hard drive dies??
