Hi Stu,

When I use Ghost to clone my 3 partition drive, which are C/D and E, to
a second drive, the backup drive is "temporily" given the letters G/H
and I. When I take the backup drive and swap its jumpers so it's the
primary, its letters change to C/D and E just like the drive I cloned.
Everything works just as it did before swapping the drives. A clone
seems to be exactly that, an exact copy of the originating drive.
