Hi there TW Tech. This is my first post.
I'm trying to Ghost my C: (80gb HD) onto a new HD (200gb). I've only done this back in the DOS days, where is was simply a matter of linking the two hard drives together with an IDE cable and going into DOS, and doing the ghost command and it would simply 'copy' over and make an exact duplicate.
The question I now have, is, can I do that with my XP Home? Or is there another way to do so? I don't want to have to shell out X amount of $, because I'm pretty sure it can be done for free. I also plan on formatting and reinstalling XP Home for another person when I am done with said ghost (on said 80gb HD), so this is why I am trying to find a reliable way to ghost from HD to HD. I've done the whole google thing, and all it turns up for the most part is "Norton Ghost 10.0", and I'd rather not spend $22-30 on a program I'll be using just once.
Thanks for the help.
