Sorry but this is so funny - I just did the very similar thing with my RH9
installation about an hour ago - cloned with Ghost 2002 from 15GB Maxtor
drive to 40GB WDC drive (I kept the identical partition sizes though with
free space ready for new partition) - the other utils, as mentioned
DriveImage (2002) failed entirely with errors. Ghost cloned seemingly OK,
but the drive is all screwed-up. It hangs not only on bad grub configuration
which is probably understandable, but it's not recognized alltogether when
attempted to rescue through CD-boot/upgrade, partitions were reported as
mismatch/error/unknown or something like that. My original RH9 installation
consists of two ext3 partitions and a swap..go figure what went wrong..I'm
currently reinstalling rh9, since have both the original drive as well as
data backup available.
Actually, maybe we should both install SUSE instead ....
