Goto www.tweakfiles.com and download Norton Ghost, or go directly to Synmatec''s web site and download the demo version of Norton Ghost. Norton Ghost will copy partitions from one computer to another, or even from one networked workstation to another. The only downfall of this program is that in order for it to work correctly the partitions that are being dealt with need to be approx. the same size. I can answer any other of your questions on the www.Speedcorp.net Windows forum!! Stef
