Hi ... Pls help me, do u know how to copy novell system disk ? I need to copy that, becoz my system disk now (SCSI 9.1 GB)has only a little space and it sound so noisy, maybe it will damage, so i bought a new SCSI Disk (36GB) to replace it, is there any other way except install in that new disk, n restore the data from old disk ? could we use Norton Ghost to solve it ? as i know norton ghost can only copy size partition the same as old ones in netware partition ? Pls Help...

Ghost will copy it but won't be able to resize the partition. If you've got another machine handy, you can set that up as a server with the old disk then put the new disk in the original server and migrate back to the original.
If you think you'll need the ability of resizing disks in the future, purchase Portlock or Server Magic. They're well worth the money in my opinion if you have more than one server.

Another method, without 3rd party utilities, would be to mirror the 9gig disk to the 36gig disk. You would need to manually make the dos partition as bootable and copy the contents of the 9gig dos partition to the dos partition on the 36gig drive.
Once mirroring was complete break the mirror then boot just the 36gig disk.
I would then backup everything on vol1 and then delete it. I would recreate vol1 using the rest of the disk. Restore the data.
