Cloning does not require a clean drive, it replaces the data in it's entirety, so I don't understand the question. Forget I posted.

We beat this subject to death on another thread and there's no point in going over that ground all over again.

The last I knew it was decided one could not boot to a USB drive, which made cloning not as attractive as imaging regarding laptops if there were a drive failure.

I'll let someone more qualified to address the problem.

At Least that's the case with Norton Ghost. I can't say for other programs.

I didn't know this. If this is the case, as is exactly what I do, will a cloned USB drive be able to work if a bootable disc is available? As I made a bootable disk before I cloned for the first time last year. Or do I need to make a separate image?
