[TriLUG] upgrading to a bigger HD

[Jim Ray]

I have no problem with Ghost and WinXP Pro and would be glad to help.

Doesn't that dd thingie work in conjunction with ftp in the Linux 
domain?  I'd love to see it fly and find out how long it takes.

It takes me 5 minutes for Windows and Office plus other apps when using 
Ghost.

Regards,

Jim
