I am having some problems.
I believe my OS is hanging becuase of bad sectors.
Running HDD Scan now and only showing two but I know there is a HDD HARDWARE issue.
Would like to clone drive ASAP.
Dell desktop.
Dell replacement drive (pre-imaged)
installed new off the shelf drive and installed new install of win7
this is now my boot drive.
Installed ghost
set up old drive and new drive as SATA 2 & 3
blew out the existing partitions (except small OEM partition) on replacement drive
started ghost -> started straight copy - selected 3rd partition on source drive and main partition on replacement drive
[both source and destination have small OEM partition. Source has utility partition and then main partition]
kept getting error messages....turned of Kaspersky Virus software and ran again
no errors...everything looks good.
But never reach even 1% on Norton
end up hard rebooting.
Disk Management in windows shows the new drive with the Utility partition in place.
Can I copy just a partition to a new drive's partition?
source = 3rd partition on a disk ( {oem}{dell utility}{primary} )
destination = 2nd partition on disk ( {oem}{primary} )
haven't used ghost since DOS days....
