all right then...I'll bite. All I've ever personally known is Norton
Ghost which is why I'm so quick to mention its use. I'm, however,
extremely curious and eagar to learn new techniques such as the one
you're talking about. Why not lay the process out so's we can get a look
at how to work it? I've got a few drives around, especially one that I'd
like to clone that has some bad sectors on it that I really need a file
from - its a program I wrote a while back that I simply don't want to
have to re-write.
