Hi,

I like Norton Ghost myself.
But dtidata have another cloning program that looks ok. They also specialise in disk recovery tools.

Of the three you mentioned - if you were planning to upgrade - Partition Magic provides great extra functionality. I'd probably go with that one.

Cheers,
Tim.

The drive can be cloned ,but the program will not change the drive configuration to master,it will only transfer the contents of the drive,you will need to manually change the drive jumper to designate as master.
All are good programs to use,using disk image is comfortable to use and not complicated
Partition Magic latest is probaly the one to use since it is the most up to date product.

Norton Ghost 7.5 Enterprise. I started on v7.0. These programs have saved me 2 times so far. Gotta love 'em!
