How to Clone a Hard Drive With Ghost
Norton Ghost provides you with backup and reproduction solutions for your data on your hard drives. The program also comes with a "clone" option that completely replicates a hard drive onto another one of the same size or larger. Before you begin, make sure the source and destination drives communicate with your computer and were installed properly. Pick a day when you have plenty of free time, as this could take a couple of hours or longer.
