Re: [Thinkpad] Norton Ghost 9

As I said, "This is on a hidden partition that NOTHING else seems to be able to see," not Partition Manager, not nothin'. Other discussion groups on the web suggest that the "hiding" of the partition is done at a very low level on the disk, just so that no standard tool can erase it (to keep the user from destoying it). With all tools I've tried the disk simply seems to be smaller than its 60G size, because of the predesktop area.
Anyone know a way around this, so the predesktop can be copied to the clone disk?
