Ghost 10 sucks for drive cloning

As a couple of you might know, I recently installed a CD-RW in my Dell DIM3000. Thanks everybody for the help Everything works great, but the one thing that is driving...
Yes, PM's cleverness can be confusing if you buttume that it's producing an exact clone for you. I once tried PM for cloning (since I got it along with PowerQuest's Drive Image for free), but it seemed a bit clumsy to me, so I adopted Casper XP.
There's a quick fix for that - stop using PQBoot! The boot manager in Windows XP is quite sufficient to multi-boot WinNT, Win2K, and WinXP, and it's used by a larger user group.

Well, that advice is scrambled. The first line applies to making clones as far as I know. As for drive letter buttignment for actual installations of an OS, letting the installer see only one un-named parbreastion (or unallocated space on a HD) will butture that the installed OS calls its own parbreastion "C:" when it runs. The reason beginners make a clone so easily is that they usually remove the original HD after they've made the clone because they're under the mistaken impression that the clone's HD has to be put on the same cable position and have the same jumpering as the original HD. Later, they re-format the "parent's" parbreastion and use it for data storage. If the connection of the original HD for the re-format step occurs when the clone is booted for the 1st time, there *may* be the "1st boot-up problem" generated, but I've never checked for it.
