I used ghost recently...I gotta say...its xcellent

It will mirror all your data including working os.....just as long as your recipient drive is big enough.

I used it to rebuild my RAID from a bakup 4Gb HD.....so cool...no rsing around with reinstalling drivers or anything. Just create a ghost boot disc (on floppy)...hook up both drives...make sure the system can see both drives....and ur on you way :)...you need to partition the new drive first (fdisk) tho and format it...so you will need a DOS boot disk to do that.

Also....if you like to bugger with your drivers...tweaking etc....and you brake your os....its gr8 for fixing when youve borked it.

Good lUck

oh yes...for RAID, you need to have hardware RAID for it to work...according to Norton...its not supposed to work...but if the RAID uses the dos properly...it does :)
