Thank you for the quick response, Sky. You are absolutely correct about turning tail and running away from this client. But an outta work bloke gotta do what he can. I figure that I should give them the real hard sell on new desktop systems, UPS and a backup server. They should then run away... I no got Ghost32 and frankly want less to do with Symantec than I have to do with Microsoft. That does not take away from the elegance of your solution. I plan to take an extra hard drive along with me as part of the afternoon's exercise. I go in search of Dave Manginelli's SystemRescueCD. Just wanted to know if more recent versions of parted / gparted (don't care about the gui) are able to work with NTFS.
