Really?
Using Ghost 9 a couple of weeks ago installed Ghost and I backed up the
computer's drive to a USB 2 drive. Opened the case, detached the IDE cable
from the current drive and connected it to a brand new out of the box
Seagate drive. Turned on the computer, stuck in the Ghost CD, and then the
computer booted with the Ghost CD and found the USB drive. I asked it to
restore the "C:" partition to the new Seagate and it did. Restarted the
computer and Windows XP Pro started without a hitch. Very smooth event.
So was the Seagate drive pre-formatted? I doubt it. But at this point I'm
sold on Ghost.

I've never had a problem cloning drives onto new, unformatted ones...Jan Alter said:Really?

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end
of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many
people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please
volunteer to be a marrow donor:
