RE: Copying Hard Drives

["Ward, David" <David.Ward@xxxxxxx>]

I used to do that with NT 4 and windows 98.
Worked fine, and much less messing about with CDs.
The downside is that you have to reload applications separately afterwards,
but we used to have all the apps on one CD or HDD and have a 'crib sheet'
giving us the install order.
We had some fussy image processing software and capture card drivers)

I used to use an old (4-5yrs old) Powerquest drive image

hmmm, interesting - i think you *could* do a duplication in between
restarts
>from
hardware. just don't install the rest of XP - boot up using the Ghost disc
instead.

that way, with the new dupe'd harddrive, you basically finish the setup
process with that machine's hardware.

would that work?


<<Remember too that windows XP (and the newer offices I think?) tie
activation with hardware if you're using legit copies>>

That's XP Home Edition only isn't it?
