Hard disk Cloning

The process of copying an entire image of a computer disk drive to another blank disk drive
is called hard disk cloning. When cloning a disk, data files, as well as operating system,
application, system state and active directory files, are copied directly to the new drive. Instead of
multiple formats of data, a single source can be tapped for an entire drive’s worth of data.

Clone Your Hard Drive With Ghost 2003

Here is a short tutorial that will quickly explain how to use Ghost 2003 to clone your hard
drive to another hard drive. This is very useful for someone that wants to install a larger hard drive
but doesn't want to go through the effort of reinstalling the operating system and all of their
programs. When you do this, your new disk should be the same size or larger than the original
hard disk.

Double click SETUP.EXE.

Your new drive should already be in the media bay. If it is not, do so before proceeding any
further.

Start Ghost 2003. When you see the opening dialog, click on the "Ghost Advanced" button
in the left column. Then click on the "Clone" button.

You need to select your "Source". Since we want to clone the entire disk, click on "Disk 1" in
the Source column. This will automatically select all of the partitions.

Now you need to select the "Destination" drive. Click on "Disk 2". Since the drive is empty,
there are no folders showing.

You may or may not see this screen. I have IEEE 1394 enabled. If you see this screen, just click on
the "Cancel" button. We will not be using the IEEE 1394 port to transfer the data.

Click on the "Next" button.

Here shows you the options that you have selected. We are cloning Disk 1 to Disk 2.

Then click on the "OK" button and let Ghost perform the cloning. Once it completes, put
your new drive in the main hard drive slot. The operating system will detect that you have new
hardware installed. Once that is complete, you now have a working clone image of your original
hard drive.
