Suppouse that you wanna 'clone' /dev/hda to /dev/hdb

Start the machine in single mode and:

Shutdown
Extract /dev/hda
Insert /dev/hdb in /dev/hda
Start machine

If you use the latest version of Ghost you will be ok. The only thing
that I have found, is that it may affect the Grub MBR contents. All I
ended up doing was to boot the install CD then boot into rescue mode and
reinstall grub back to the MBR, then I could boot the new drive again
with the new partition sizes. Other than that, I found it to work very
well. (And also works very quick)

I am not familiar with above commands like : dd , inset and extract,
will really appreciate if you could further explain so I can understand
how they work.<br>
Besides, my experience in using the CD booting up in rescue mode also
may encounter unexpected problem; After I restored the Ghost image file
back to original partition, then booted up Line CD into rescue mode,
the rescue process for unknown reason failed to mount this original
partition, a message said it has problem, so restore operation failed.
It is better to make a boot up floppy with current o/s, in case the the
CD rescue mode won't work, this boot up floppy will then be a life
saver.<br>
I also confirm that when used the partimage to make image file out of a
partition when my Red Hat 9 installed. I had a successful restore
without using CD rescue mode nor boot up floppy, just reboot the
machine and everything is up and running fine - making linux image file
for restore Ghost can't do that, including ver 8.0 (I must use boot
up floppy and then do grub-install). <br>
