Probably, I did not describe the issue clearly. My computer is working on
Vista Premium and support 2 sata drives. Now I need to copy an old ide
hard
disk to a larger one for my laptop pc. I cannot do it on my laptop and
think to use my desktop pc. However, I do not have ide drive connection
on
my desktop pc and insufficient drives to accomplish the task. Any other
idea?
Suggestions:
1. Put both the IDE drives into USB external drive cases;
2. or attach internally to your computer if you have the connections on your
motherboard;
3. or use SATA-to-IDE adapter(s) to the motherboard;
4. or use a specialized drive adapter(s) like this one:

If you are using such an old version of Norton Ghost that it won't support
USB, replace it with a modern imaging program that does. I use the
enterprise version of Acronis True Image Echo because I'm a computer tech,
but you can buy the home version of TI for as little as $35. Here are a few
examples:

You need the tools to accomplish the job.
