-In order to avoid GRUB reinstallation problem you should  create GHOST boot diskette with -id option or choose it in GHOST option tab (options--> IMAGE/TAPE---->IMAGE DISK switch ).

- even in your situation you may boot from installation CD into rescue mode and re-install grub [google for this option]

- in addition you may use : 
	- dd - if you have 2 harddisks with same size&geometry
	- Mondo/Mindi rescue
	- and more

Subject: How to drive copy Linux


I am running Red Hat 3 AS with one 36 GB SCSI drive.  I have the drive
partitioned, home, usr, /, var.  I want to copy the entire drive to another
SCSI drive attached to the cable so I can install the drive drive in an
identical server.  Then I can rename and renumber the server and be done.  I
used Ghost 7.5 which copied the data but would the system would not boot.
It got to Grub in the boot squence and stopped.  How can I get this to work?
Or what is the method to copy or clone a Linux drive to another?

Thanks,
Jay
