Before I start playing around with adding OSes and using different HDD
management tools, I want to copy my existing HDD onto a new larger one.

But that's a problem, because DOS will only allow/recognize 26 drives
and I already have 19 [if I don't load CD]!  19+17=10 drives too many.

Someone had mentioned OnTrack awhile back and while there I noticed they
sell software specifically designed to copy one HDD to another.  But,
after about a half dozen e-mails before I could get a definitive answer,
their DiskGo! or whatever program relies strictly on the OS to name and
recognize drives ... IOW, if you want to copy HDD with CDEFG partitions
to new HDD, new HDD will be HIJKL unless/until original HDD is removed
from system.

Pretty worthless for major backup. :<

I'm still having trouble with my travan tape back, so wanted something I
might be able to trust.

Anyone have any ideas about other software that can take over the
naming/recognition of drives during a major copy of one HDD to another?
