I am a fairly clueless Ubuntu 8.04 user. Current system : 1). Vista installed on primary SATA master 2). Ubuntu installed on primary SATA slave. Current setup works very well. That being said, of course, now I'm planning on ghosting my Vista install to a larger (320GB) hard drive. Question from the clueless : will the ghost and change in drive geometry from old-drive-to-new affect how the bootloader recognizes each individual operating system? Or will I have to reinstall GRUB? Being fairly clueless, this is something that I will have to research before I ghost the drives. Thanks in advance. I appreciate any help that anyone is willing to offer. Yes I did Google this issue. Sorry to bother you all. RD/a11

I'm afraid I can't help personally, but there is a forum for Ghost. http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/Y... I found this, which says Ghost 8, is the only ghost to support grub. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR... There is more info, if you google ghost 2003 linux. Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Depends on version of ghost. Most can copy the entire partition as well as the mbr if you know the switch or checkbox. This is unlikely to help you in this case. Since ubuntu is a live cd you can almost always fix it later. You can even let vista boot it if you want. Which version of ghost are you using? It may not support vista.
