i currently have a 120g Maxtor ATA133 HD, and i want to buy an upgrade Maxtor 300g ATA150. Using norton ghost can i ghost the ata133 drive even though the drives aren't connected to each other...(because one is IDE cable Ata133, and the other is a Serial Cable).

To ghost a HD do they have to be connected to the same IDE cable? - one set to master and one set to slave.

Or can i ghost the ATA133 --> to serial drive ?
 
you should have no problem ghosting.
It doesnt have to be on same channel or type cable
i ghost to sata from ide all the time, and vice versa.
 
will ghost copy the entire drive image over? im looking to upgrade as well, and need the new drive to function just like the current one does now, but with more space.
will it do that?
 
You might have to resize the partition, but yes, it will work. If you copy a smaller image over, it may make your drive only that big with a the extra space left "unpartitioned". I'm nto sure though. It's easy to just resize afterwards.
 
You can also simply download the Maxtor (Maxblast?) utility to clone the smaller drive to the larger drive.

I used the Maxtor utility to clone a multi-partition WD drive to a larger Maxtor drive, including automatic scaling of partition sizes. Simple, fast and flawless.
