That didn't work at first until I completely deleted the partition in the new drive using disk management from W2K so it indicated the complete drive space was available and unallocated. Maybe zeros have to be written in all the drive to have the image pasted in the exact front of the drive. It then worked and the snap booted from it! I upgraded from the web console as Assist crashed during the OS upgrade. Still only 28GB, though, the size of the pasted image. I reformated and still only 28GB, but a new drive. You and Seagate reference the Snap command line, but how do you invoke it? I sure would like to have the full 200GB.
Thanks,

I ran into that problem too, with ntsf partitions. I need to find the command in dd for mounting them. Most of MS machines are now on ntsf. Knoppix also had a problem booting on my 915g computer with SATA drives, it would not come up at all.
