Hi Victor,

Thanks for the reply.

The 2 big problems as far as I can tell are that the second drive is much larger than the original drive and I am using NTFS.

If anyone has any ideas how to clone the drives without having to reinstall everything, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

>Well I've got it to work before. Only minor problem was that you ghost a 20gig drive to and 80gig drive you'll loose the other 60gig. In my case I didn't want to have to create an additonal partition so I used Partition Magic to give me all the space back.
