Hi,
Which stable prog for cloning partition to partition using floppy ?
What software would allow me a stable method of cloning a partition to
a partition, SATA as source and ATA as destination ?
It seems Norton Ghost 10 can be problematic on some PCs when dealing
with SATA hardrives. My engineer screwed up my rebuild trying to use
it to ghost to DVD. It didnt even start the transfer, he had to
rebuild entire PC again as it wouldnt boot, ghost created its own boot
drive. I am nervous to try it HD to HD as I always ghost..even having
now bought Ghost12. Not sure if 12 allows creation of floppy, assumed
it did but better not use it if wish for refund.
I have always used Ghost on a floppy and cloned in DOS, I dont like
cloning windows when windows is running, purists say the only true
safe way is in DOS and I have done so for years without any problems.
The net is full of advice to steer clear of Ghost 10. What can I use
to clone via DOS using a floppy ?
Have downloaded Acronis but think that only works in windows and does
entire disk, not just a partition. Cannot see anything about floppy in
all the talk. I have dual boot and wish to clone the winXP
SP2partition only.
