Good Folk,
I "built" a little PC for home use last Dec. It has Tyan TX board,
Pentium 166 MMX, etc. I have NTWS 4.0 SP3 and lots of other software
on Western Digital 3.2 gb udma HDD.
This HDD started failing some weeks ago. I can occasionally get it to
boot. Mostly I get a hard drive failure. Vagabond Gypsy's got no
backups. I do have a replacement drive from WD, and I need to do
an "image copy" from the old drive to the new.
The system runs NT WS 4.0 SP3. I've got lots of software in 2 NTFS
partitions on the failing drive. Can Partition Magic handle the NTFS
stuff? I was told that if I can boot MS/DOS with CD drivers (and I can),
then PM can do the job, copy everything so's I can install the
replacement drive as C: and go about my merry business. Does this sound
accurate? Are there any other products that can do this?
Any help, suggestions, etc would be "most appreciated". TIA.
Zalut,
David
