Best option for cloning a drive?
I have been using an old copy of Norton Ghost (dos based) to make image files for years. It chokes when I run across a drive with multiple partitions. My parents showed up today with a newer laptop they want cloned. Dad brought some sort of Seagate copy program with him that boots to dos to do the cloning but the laptop keeps going into sleep mode (while in dos) before the clone has been completed. I've looked in the BIOS and turned a few things off but I cannot find what is causing this. Anyway, I was just curious to see what you guys would use if you had to copy a multi-partition drive.
