I stumbled on this thread whn I posted the thread on "configuration change".
I have Ghost 9. When I installed the 250gb drive on my system I set it as
slave and also bought Ghost. I've been making clones (occasionally) of my
120gb boot drive (I do manually copy some things such as databases when
revised and pictures loaded from my dSLR (KM Maxxum 7D - Great Camera), etc
to the clone also whenever the files are updated). I always figured I would
some day soon swap the drives around, make the 250GB the primary and the
120gb slave. I figured all that was needed to be done. After reading your
posts I checked Ghost. I didn't even see an option to make a DOS Ghost boot
disk. I did wonder about that when I first got it. I've used backups of
windows in the past and know the problem of cloning open files but figured
the problem was solved in the latest version. So am I missing something?
