All I meant by that was would I need a software startup disk or a boot file
or something like that instead of just switching cables. I run 2 SATA drives
with win 2000.
I had a look at the 2 programs you mentioned and may go that way (casper)
but am still a bit apprehensive. There are some master boot record gotchas
with 2 disks permanently installed as far as I could see, but maybe I'm
being a nervous nellie after recovering the system (reinstalling) last week.
Even though most of my data incl. my Docs wasn't on the old C: drive, it was
still a 3-4 day job reinstalling. Don't wan't to have to go through all that
again.
all the best, Larry

If the cloning is done correctly, then you should be able to boot fromboot
the clone. Personally, I would test the operation just to convince
myself that process works. I don't know what you mean "to implement a
software solution."

Ok, cloning software. If I do clone it successfully could I then (in the
event of a failure) simply switch the SATA cables and have the machine
createto the (F:) drive or do I need to implement a software solution?

Xcopy won't do it. You have to use cloning software such as True
Image, Casper, etc.

Thanks Andy for clearing that up for me.
My backup strategy is to either xcopy or use ghost/drivecopy? to
betteran
SATAimage of the (C:) win2k drive on the (F:) active drive. If this sounds
plausible, could I then (in the event of a failure) simply switch the
implementcables and have the machine boot to the (F:) drive or do I need to
a software solution? Which route is most practical? (or is there a
strategy?)
thanks again,

No. If it only says active, and not system or boot or page, then it
has no involvement with the operating system that is running.
