[dba-Tech] Copying and entire hard drive

Hi Jon:

So Norton's Ghost copies the MBR as well?... I have a copy on a floppy and
Partition Magic somewhere... will give it a whirl and post the results.

Thanks
Jim

Norton Ghost it to another drive, then Partition Magic to resize the
partition. Then defrag it.

With a drive that small, should only take an hour or so.

Hi All:

It is time to move my C drive up as 8 GB just does not go as far as it use
to (It can now barely say 'Hello World'). It is easy to shadow copy the
whole drive and write it back to a hard drive... have been doing that to the
'other/RAID' drives for years but now this is the master drive.

What is the best way to copy the MBR off the master drive... which is not
usually backed up (the drive is dual boot.)

TIA
Jim
