A few weeks or a month or so ago I saw a thread that mentioned several
applications for copying the contents of the current drive to a new drive.
I've searched and searched to no avail. Besides Ghost, which doesn't seem to
work with my configuration, does anyone have any suggestions?

My situation: SATA 80 GB, Dual boot with 3 partitions - Windows 2000,
Wnidows XP Pro, and a small storage partition. I want to migrate to a 120 GB
IDE drive, and adjust the size of the partitions if possible.

TIA

There is a 30 day full functioning free trial.

Good luck

Are you sure you have the latest version of Ghost ?

Hi, have you tried maxtor maxblast 4 for windows, it works from within
windows quite nicely although I'm not sure if it will actually work with
your configuration, as you are going from sata to ide, but there's no harm
in trying.

I received a full version when I purchased an Iomega external drive. I tried
it on two different systems with the same results, after choosing
preferences and rebooting, nothing happened.

On one system, the C drive was IDE, on the other SATA. I went through all
the help files, downloaded the latest patches, even tried adding switches to
the command lines, nothing. It was pretty frustrating.

The latest version looks better but after what I went through with this
version, I hesitate.

I'm think I'm going to try True Image.

When I used Ghost 2003 to clone my C: drive I had to boot into Safe Mode
before it would properly, but after that it has worked fine.

IIRC, it's 15 days of full functionality, then unlimited time of no
functionality.

The Acronis True Image trial works very well. I've used it on a number of
systems to migrate to new drives.
