Question on Ghosting

[sdgserv]

A friend ask me if he can ghost from a 74g SCSI to a WD 640 sata and I have no idea..
Any help would be appreciated.

You mean like clone the hdd?

Use Acronis true image and copy the partition to the WD640 hdd. After that expand the partition from 74GB to 640GB.

It should work out fine unless I'm missing something

Yes Cloning..I will let him know..thanks

I love Acronis TI but you may give Easeus Disk Copy (free) a go if all you're doing is a simple cloning.

 

[sdgserv]

Free is good

tell your friend the answer is YES, he can ghost from one drive to the other.

now making sure the PC boots off the Sata drive depends on the SATA controller (is it onboard or an addon card, etc) and if the OS has drivers for the sata chipset.
Also probably have to reorder the boot menu in the BIOS
