I`ve just discovered that Norton Ghost wont work in XP (or at least it won`t for me!) so does anyone know of or point me towards one that`ll work.....preferably free too!!:D :D
View Full Version : Anyone point me in the direction of a HD copying utility?

You must have an old version then, I've ghosted many XP rigs.

As far as I can tell it went fine. Can boot from the drive but it hangs at the "microsoft Windows XP" splash screen (the bit just before you click the user you wanna go in as) and it just stays there. I can`t repair with the XP disc as I`ve lforgotten my password:rolleyes: So I`m a bit stuck so far!
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanx

i dont know from where you can download it but it is good one
u have to boot from it (working under dos) -i have it but forgot all about it . it's take longer to copy but does good job
DRIVE COPY by Powerquest ver 3
i think u can use partition magic too but never tried it

Right, the story so far is...
Drive remains non-bootable (stalls at the MS WINXP Splash screen) no matter wot I use to copy/clone it.
used Norton Ghost - no go
used PQ Drive Image 7 - no go
used HDCopy (:rolleyes: ) - no go
used casper XP - no go (managed to resize the partition with PQ partition magic and that worked) but still stuck at the stalled MS WINXP splash screen just before where one would NORMALLY click on a user to continue to login.
Anyone help me outta this one?? I`ve never had so much trouble cloning a hard drive in my life!!:confused: :confused: :cry: :mad:
OH BTW i installed a new win xp on another HD i have (8GB) for the purpose of having the 'source drive' and the 'destination drive' completely 'redundant' for the purpose of the clone/copy which was when all the above listed attempts have been made;)

Anyone got any suggestions?
Really could do with not having to re-install if I can avoid it!

Acronis True Image 6.0 (http://www.acronis.com/products/trueimage/)
BY FAR the best and easiest imaging app there is.
:cool:

Thanx for all your help Guys (and Gals if there were any) but I`ve given up!
It just wouldn`t work, only thing I could think of was there was some file or other corrupt or missing which was causing it not to continue to boot fully.
I`ve formatted and re-installed and, so far, all is well.
Once again Guys and Gals, many thanx:D ;)
