Carey:
Unless I've grossly misunderstood Sue's objective, she wants to clone the
contents of a Win98 drive on one machine to the Win98 partition of another
machine. There's no reason she can't do that using Ghost 2003. Naturally
there will probably be driver issues after the cloning process, but that's
another issue.

I've responded to Sue's query in another posting.
