Disk Imaging

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All

I need to pick your collective brains.  We have a lot (thousands) of PCs
that need their HDs swapping for a new one.  The PC's are up to 2 yrs old,
so most will have USB2, but some will not.  What would you suggest as being
the best way to image the drive?

I'm working on the assumption of a USB2 caddy, with a USB2->IDE adaptor
for
the older PCs, using Ghost as the utility.  The total transfer will
typically be around 8-10MB.  The one minor snag is that we need to avoid
powering down the existing HDs, though soft reboots are fine.  We're
looking
for the quickest, most idiot-proof way of doing this. Am I working along
the
right lines?

Thanks

Pete
