cloning hard disks

Best software would be goood old Norton Ghost 7 well best thing about it is at Symantec Beta Place its written that Ghost 7 is free :p...

so google it.. and download it... just under a MB...

boot with a 98SE CD ROM or any boot able disk... and just make a image of the partition and restore it on the new HDD !! :p

@saurav_cheeta

well Symantec Claims that !! also... why i said ghost 7 over the newer version is because some how it has more compatability with Drives rather the most newer version also !!! (i felt that while useing it !!!)

but I havent tested ghost 7 with exact the same hardware mentioned in the post :p

so author may answer it better !! lets wait for him to get back !!! (hope he comes back to share the knoledge !!)
