    Clone Drive

    Hi

    Sbs 2003
    Scsi hdd 76gb partition into (by Dell) 12gb/64gb

    Problem Need larger, more space, on C: drive!!



    Would like to clone to a NEW 76gb drive ... so parttion would be 24gb/
    56gb (.. later using old drive as a data drive)


    The server is 5 yrs old ... more life in her yet... do not want to
    over spend .. but want to clone.. as c drv(12Gb) as runing out of
    space.... to a new drive with 24gb partition.

    Have done may pc's by booting into Ghost (dos) and then just cloning
    drive...
    have seen some reports on here this may not work!

    So looking for some ideas.
    1.would like to clone on boot..not image!
    2. There is no raid etc... but would scsi drives cause issue...

    Any help ..ideas would be helpful Thank you

    Yes, it can be done with Ghost 2003, although it's not supported by
    Symantec. That 76GB capacity value looks a bit odd for a SCSI drive since
    they usually come in 73.5 GB capacity (or less).

    Anyway, the following should allow you to clone your old SCSI drive to a new
    one while retaining your old drive in case things go south:
