Diane,

Ghost is old technology and Dos isn't the way to go.  Get Partition Magic
to set up new partitions and use something like Acronis True Image to
mirror any disk's data to another disk, of any type. With these tools you
won't have to reformat or loose your data.And it doesn't matter what your
Windows operating system is. With Acronis you can transfer your whole Boot
hard disk to another and boot with the exchanged disk using Acronis on a
Boot CD startup. Also there are other software tools out there that are
better than Ghost.

Good Luck.

John D.
