> Did you try Acronis True Image yet?
The version I have was a DOS version that wouldn't work on the external
drive. I want to buy new software only as a last resort. Acronis has a
'free' trial, but this requires registering, so the value is the value
of my personal information, not free.
Matt: "a good Thinkpad clone needs to be performed in a
Thinkpad.........."
Well, I *am* cloning on a ThinkPad, with a portable USB drive. I've
installed many systems, on the myriad TPs we've had over the years as
well as those of colleagues, and am well aware of geometry issues, which
can usually be overcome with a bit of care (and sometimes disk prepping
in the machine).
I will try Bruce's suggestion (I've tried a bunch of other programs
which claim the same functionality), but I think Partition Magic just
hosed one of the partitions, so will have to recopy that first.
Finally, I will just deal with it with one of the painful ways I know
will work (backup/restore, or clean system install followed by copying
files in a non-Windows machine).
