I haven't used G4U but from = what I gather it's what G4L is based on (either the code or the concept = - not sure). You can clone everything including the recovery partition no problem. The only snag I've run into doing this is with some of the older systems = that shipped with a 15 head hard disk. You can clone them all you want = but it has to be to another 15 head disk. Same limitation applies = regardless of the cloning software. I usually use an ftp server to store and retrieve the images but I've = done it direct to the new drive via a USB enclosure also. Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Richard Rice Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 11:09 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Cloning Any ideas on cloning an IBM T60 Thinkpad with G4U (Ghost for You)? The T60 comes with a recovery partition. First I killdisk the drive, re-install Windows XP. Then I want to capture an image with G4U so that I can clone other T60 machines. Is this possible with G4U? My present imaging software, Imagecaster, fails.
