Here are some (OT) disturbing developments in the (OT) field of IDE
cloning.

My fantasy is
that I can buy another IDE drive (of somewhat larger
capacity) and just somehow copy the whole thing on the original down to
the new one, without having to go thru the backup/restore/re-auth all the
programs I've got on it. I have 8mm streaming tape backups of the system,
When I bought a new motherboard last year it came with a Norton CD called
Ghost, which I have heard very good things about and does just what you
want. I don't know how large the program is, or how fussy it might be to
snag off the CD and email, but suspect a "way" is possible. Most likely it
is best if this is done off the list via direct email otherwise you might
get 7 copies emailed to you.
