Hi there,
I'm looking at changing hard drives in my laptop. i.e. shifting from a 6GB to a
20GB drive. I've currently got a dual boot win98 and RH7.1 setup. I gather from
various websites etc. that Norton Ghost is the way to go. Am I right in
understanding that the programme will copy all my partitions and both operating
systems from the old to the new HDD and maintain the same partition proportions?
If so thats damn cool. Interested in getting some feedback about this. Is it a
good way to go or can it cause problems? And with a laptop what is the actual
basic physical procedure? i.e. I assume theres only space for one hard drive at
a time?? hmmm.
Thanks in advance.
J
