    What can I use to copy a system disk

    I want to copy a disk with the os already installed.

    Is there anything that can do that.

    I tried hdclone. It copied the disk, but it would not boot.

      I have never used the progie myself but the shop where I get my "new" junk parts does. I do know that you have to make sure the progie gets the size of the drive being copied to right. Its like if you are copying from a 40 Gig to a new 80 gig sometimes the progie will also format the new larger drive down to the size of the drive being copied.

      There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
