	But the act of imaging the drive killed it. I never restored the
image... Weird.

	I've done NT 4 before with ghost 2001 and it worked. I tried to
ghost a fedora core 3 box with ext3 and it wouldn't work at all.
	I bought the new version ghost 9.0 with ghost 2003, used ghost
9.0 I believe and it worked.
	 
	So long story short I wonder if it's something to do with the
version you're using

		Ok.. I've learned my lesson. dd is a good thing and
ghost is bad. Question though... I imaged 2 NT 3.51 machines. Just read
the image off the drive with ghost and didnt do anything else. Now I'm
getting the famous inaccessable boot device error on both. After imaging
the drive no less! Does anyone know what ghost did to the drive that
makes NT choke? I've never seen this before with ghost. Also, I imaged
an NT4 system and had no problems at all. Weird....

			I'm looking for decent drive imaging software
that runs under Linux. Here's my wishlist: 

			* Images Win9x/NT, OS/2, and anything else that
you throw at it 
			* Works off a bootable CD 
			* Saves image files to a SAMBA share or via FTP 
			* Can restore images to a different drive size
(like Ghost) 

			I've used ghost before, but apparently it has
some issues with OS/2. dd worked fine for the OS/2 system I had to
image, but I'm thinking there has to be a way for dd to restore to a
drive of a different size without borking the OS.

		While not an all-in-one solution, you could use the
combo of Partimage (http://www.partimage.org) along with Parted
(http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html) to resize the partition
once it's restored.
		
		I believe both of these tools are available on the
latest Knoppix CD.
