Sorry, won't work. I just checked--the only options for the 2002
version of Ghost are: Disk to (and from) Image and Partition to (and
from) Image. They did not have a "disk copy" function back then. I
have to rely on Seagate's freeware for that.

You should have the option "Disk to Disk" which essentially is cloning.

Thanks Brian--seems like indeed there's a "disk-to-disk" option in
Ghost 2002, though I've never used it, and in view of Anna's comments
about "compatibility" I'm hesitant to use it. Better for me is my
plan as outlined above.

Just to complete this thread for future generations, I've just tried
Seagate's DiscWizard and with a new Seagate HD on the USB connection,
the DiscWizard identifies it, sets up the 'clone' correctly (ie. copy
C to the new HD), but upon reboot there's a reading error and it
fails. Perhaps this is due to a virus or firewall program running
resident, though I thought I corrected for this. In any event, I'm
going to go to plan B which is to attach the new HD in the "D" bay,
and use Ghost 2002 to copy "disk to disk" (clone) as Brian points out.
