Norton Ghost...

[Crism]

How long would it take me to clone a 40GB Fujitsu (with like 36GB+ of stuff on it) hard drive with Norton Ghost to a 120GB Maxtor 8MB Cache Drive? Thanks!

You can also use Maxtor's MaxBlast free software to clone one drive to another, I've used it before when upgrading harddrives and I would guess something like around 30 minutes to an hour for the amount of data that you mentioned.

Norton will take about an hour or so with a bunch of cd's.

I wouldn't think it would take that long. Depends on how it is hooked up. I am not sure if you can do it if you put the other drive in your puter, might be able to. I only have seen it done from puter to puter, and it was pretty fast over a LAN connection.

40 GB onto cds??? Like shoot me first!

And I hope the 40 GB drive isn't NTFS,
then Maxblast is out.

What I did was to clean install the new drive and then copy over the files.
(40 to 120 also)
a pain, and it took an hour +.
I guess software would have been better or faster, but hell with that.

oh, and you may as well go ahead and delete all the old pron, juarez, and mp3 garbage.
that should leave you with about a cdroms work of data to copy over... :P

20 minutes at most using nortons ghost drive to drive

I use ghost at work all the time. 5G images take around 2 minutes to transfer. I don't know about creating the images though.
