How to copy or "Ghost" a drive

[ddouglass]

First, for this problem the best solution would be to reload Windows et al. This would clean up the system file locations and be beneficial in other ways too. It is a real pain and I always dread having to do it, but sometimes ya gotta. Be sure you have all your program installers somewhere else first before you start.

I am not even sure Ghost can help in this situation. If it was a case of getting errors on booting but still opening up then you could just copy everything from the old to the new drive, but since Windows won't open without it that won't work. You could add the new drive as a 3rd drive and just move your data. Then at some point in time reload Windows.
