Yes you can. The best and easy way of doing the same is bootup the machine using a dos diskette.once in A:\ prompt replace the Dos disk with Ghost disk and type ghost in the command prompt. Select option to copy from local\disk to disk and press enter. Little bit careful here. It will ask for source drive and will show disk1 and disk2. Depending upon from where you want to copy,specify the location and press enter and then the destination drive will be asked. Select this and press enter. After confirmation the disk copy starts and once upon completion you will have to reboot the machine. Now about the caution part. Always your primary IDE controller will be disk1 and secondary IDE controller is disk2. So if you specify a wrong source drive,( suppose a new empty drive) the disk containing data will be overwritten by the empty drive making both empty.Another way to confirm the correct drives is by writing down the size of the drives if they are not of the same size before starting copying.

Added notes: (1) be sure that your slave drive is FAT. When you Ghost, it will turn it to NTFS, don't worry. BUT, imaging will have to be FAT. (2) If you don't label your drives, don't get confused. When you select the target drive, it may appear as if it is still the main drive. It isn't. That's why I label the drives so that I don't get confused.

Sorry... I am very curious on how to create a boot disk for NTFS to prompt to command prompt since I tried already but cannot. Please give me some tips on it, since NT is not like Win9x which can use boot disk to access.
