You could have also treid the cat command :-) no jokes. if your hard drive partition requirements r same and your hardware is same or supported. like...
cat /dev/hda > /dev/hdb
this will mirror as it is regardless of OS. it worked for me.
cheerz.

I have successfully done the mirroring! Yes, we have to do the GRUB rescue but there are still some minor tweak for the GRUB rescue. Please refer to http://www.sorgonet.com/linux/grubrestore/ on the second example.
Once again, thanks to all that have helped :)

Good Day,
I have a task to install dual boot running Windows XP and RedHat 9 for
more than 100 PCs. Are there any recommendation to install dual boot in
a fast and efficient way?
I was thinking to use Norton Ghost to mirror from a fully installed dual boot machine but a friend of mine told me that I will encountered boot up problem after the mirror. Please advised.
Thanks!
Cheers, CL
We are just at the point of trying this. In the past Ghost was sensitive to architecture differences in the different machines. If all your machines are alike this should work but here is another problem. If you use Ghost in byte to byte copy mode what happens if one of the disks has bad blocks. If we succeed I would be glad to notify you. I would appreciate any information you could send us on your experiences with this method. Boot up problems may exist but that is what Linux rescue disks are for. You may have to run lilo or grub-install again. But since multiple machines can be done at once we have found this method useful in the past. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200
