i have a hard drive that i need to image to a slightly larger hard drive. the image on the new hard drive must be able to boot as teh old one did. the hard drive i need to pulll the image from is formated fat32 with win98 installed. the only other thing is that the imaging program must work in win2k3. (many imaging programs will not install on win2k3)
i made an image of the drive using winimage but i cant get it to copy to the new drive.
i tried using ghost enterprise edition but that doesn't give me the options that i want. Ghost just seems to want to do big batches of network images not just a simple copy from one drive to another.

drive image 7 does't work in win2k3
i am installing win2k right now so i can use drive image
i really wish this dude that i am fixing the computer for would just let me upgrade him. He is all like "i want it to be exactly like it was b4"
so hopefully the driveimage program will hook it up
the heart of the problem is that the hard drive is not recognised during the post so it doesn't boot. but the hard drive works in my computer with my abit add on hard drive controller. so i just want to image over to the new drive. Seems simple enought but i have been messing with it for the past few days off and on and i haven't gotten it working yet so i am a bit frustrated.

it is actually drive image 6 that i have and that doesn't work in server
but driveimage doesn't seem to work for me because i am not using onboard controllers.
man what a pain in the ass this is turning out to be.

I'm afraid as far as 2K3 and any Windows Server flavor is concerned you'll have to get either the Enterprise Edition of Ghost from Symantec or the V2i product from Powerquest.
Here's the real rub now however, Symantec just acquired Powerquest so I'm sure in a short time these competing products will merge

If you can see the drive(s) in DOS booted from a floppy then ghost will work. You just need to create the ghost DOS disks. Much better to do this kind of imaging in DOS instead of Windows.
i slapped an extra scsi drive in my system and installed 2k on it then ran drive image. I was able to do the copy from within windows.
had to use my onboard ide controllers
the deal was the board on the western digital hard drive seemed to be dying. i wouldn't get recognised by the dudes computer so it wouldn't boot up. Some of my computers would recognise the drive. So basically the dude got lucky. I fubared my system in the process. But that is ok cause i have lots of backups
