==================
After all the words that have been spent on duplicating a hard drive, I
started looking into what I needed for my home computer.  I just ordered 3
80GB SATA drives to use on the built-in Promise RAID controller.  Welp, Ghost
8 has a problem with my system - it get to the graphical screen where it
should display a welcome/registered-to screen but hangs HARD.  It may be due
to trying to figure out my SATA DVD writer - Ghost has no explicit support for
SATA although it seems to appear as an IDE device to the computer and XP.
When I receive the drives, I may pull the cable off the DVD writer and see if
that helps.  Of course, the RAID controller may then give it fits.

Assuming it's dead in the water, my only other owned option is to use the
disaster recovery capability of my backup software.  That's fine but takes
more time than a simple Ghost operation.  Short of buying new software (which
may or may not work), does anyone have any suggestions?  The drive is using
NTFS so I need something that will work with that.  It'd be great to do a
disk-to-disk copy of any sort (Ghost's automatic resizing of the partition
would simplify life a tad).

I'm not SOL but I was hoping for an easier solution.  I looked at the trial
version of True Image but it's limited in trial form (won't do a system disk).

Suggestions?
