I will pay an reasonable price for it.
Did you ever get hooked up? I wish I could help you, and if there is ANY way that I can please let me know. Problem is I don't know how to "image", only copy from one drive to another.

I have ZERO Unix/Linux experience, so I tried a couple DOS based cloning methods mentioned EARLY on in the first few pages of this thread.

So far, I like the Norton Ghost BOOT FLOPPY method the best. When I tried that other DOS cloning software, it worked, but after slipping in the newly cloned drive the existing file shares were "X"ed out. Its not a big deal since you have to REINIT the drive to obtain full drive capacity anyway, but it did concern me a little that it obviously didn't make an EXACT copy since the file shares were Xd.

Ghost on the other hand, made a PERFECT copy, with existing file shares intact. I still had to REINIT to get full drive capacity, but I feel more comfortable with this methoed.

Which brings me to your delimna; If I knew the EXACT command with Norton to do a "raw IMAGE" instead of a "raw CLONE", I'd be willing to help you out.

Anyone else use the Ghost method and know the exact command?
