Ghost is a program that you can run that basicly mirrors from one
harddrive to another. You can go to symantecs site and they have it for
sale. The SID is the unique per NT machine and it is what the OS uses to
identify other machines on the network. For example when you join a server
to a domain the Domain contoller stores the new domain members SID as a
member of the domain along with the netbios name. Symantec should have a sid
changer that comes with ghost.
