So I take my hard drive of my current machine called A and put it another harddrive in it called B: then I start ghost and look for a disk to disk copy and it tells me there is not a valid source disk in the machine.
What is the correct process to take a ghosted image file or to copy a hard drive, the Symantec help site is no help and I cant find it anywhere else.
I prefer to use dd for example, if you want to copy the hdb into hdc you can use: dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc bs=8196k man dd for bs options You can copy a partition only using /dev/hdX# is easy, fast and without software -- www.geekcode.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/cc/e/it d++ s+:+ a-- C++$ UL+++$ E++ W+++$ w--- O---- M V- PS PE+++ Y+ PGP- t+ 5 X++ R tv+ b++ DI-- D+ G e++$ h! r++ y++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ - A veces creo que hay vida en otros planetas, y a veces creo que no.
