Not if you did it with an ordinary copying program. Norton Ghost is what I use but mine is older. The program created a bootable CD. I boot with it then select the options. It will clone to an external hard drive. but it wipse the partition which is part of creating a clone I guess. So with your huge D partition you will also wipe what is now on that drive. There's another program called Acronis, there's an Acronis Yahoo group too. They may be able to help you figure out how to create a C clone to a CD. I bought it beause the hype made is sound like would burn directly to the CD, oops I mean a DVD. I couldn't figure out how to do that, not directly. So I created a file, large file, and burned it to a DVD. The file size will depend on the size of the partition. Jim ^v^ ^v^ ^v^~~~~ Paris's Reply ~~~~^v^ ^v^ ^v^ Jim and Phyllis I know that you Jim have Acronis (true image) 9, but Phyllis can still get Version 7 free. It does most of the stuff that Versions 9 and 10 do, and may actually be easier to use. The Free Version of Acronis (True Image 7) is still available for download. Details of the offer etc: _http://www.flexbeta.net/main/comments.php?shownews=21786&catid=5_ (http://www.flexbeta.net/main/comments.php?shownews=21786&catid=5) Acronis specialises in hard drive housekeeping software and True Image is the company's offering for saving and restoring complete hard drive images. It runs from Windows, but also includes a facility to prepare a boot floppy or CD, so you can get at the images even when Windows won't load. All the main tasks the program can undertake are Wizard-driven, taking you step-by-step through the process in a clear and logical way. Backups can be created on a variety of different media, including recordable CDs and DVDs, external drives connected through USB 2 or FireWire ports, and network drives. You can restore complete images or selected files, making the program particularly versatile should you corrupt or inadvertently delete important information. Support on the desktop and in the PDF manual for cloning an image from one drive to another is particularly clear and, although Acronis also sells a dedicated utility for hard drive upgrading, True Image 7 handles this task well, too.
