Now that you bring this up, I wonder if Norton Ghost would work under Linux using something (can't remember the name) that lets DOS programs run under Linux.

I suppose you could run it with dosemu or wine but I wouldn't trust it myself....why try and use a windoze program when g4l or dd will work out of the box? Besides, the times I remember running Norton Ghost tended to be from a boot floppy that ran freedos so it needed neither windoze or GNU/Linux.

Norton Ghost doesn't interpret the contents of a source disk (at least not in a drive > drive copy). it copies bit for bit (a one-to-one relationship in discrete math) ... making an absolute identical copy. the source drive could contain a completely alien format from the future. it shouldn't matter what is actually on the source hard disk... as long as the target hard disk is the exact same make and model.
but, whateve... I don't play around... we bust raid-5 scuzzy where I'm from.
