Each drive is set to master on each channel (the only devices connected to the ATA-100 controller). Installed my RAID 0 array: twin Barracuda IV 20Gb running off a HPT370 onboard controller, with 16Kb stripe size. Made a bootable floppy disk with Ghost Boot Wizard. Installed no problems onto my old SCSI drive. OK, so I went out and bought Norton Ghost 2001 (academic version). If you have trouble communicating with the ImageCast people, try contacting me and I'll give them a kick for you They do have a good turn around time in the USA on support questions like this. The more information you supply them, the less number of questions you are going to get asked back.
Please include as much detail as you have here about EXACTLY what you want to be able to do. Send an email to and ask them about ImageCast and its ability to do what you are trying to do.
Good luck getting support to tell you if this is actually possible. What have you really got to lose? Unless I read this incorrectly, you are trying to clone an OS from a raid scenario that will still be there if cloning to the new drive fails?Īs for whats happened recently with Ghost versions, that stuff is all beyond me.

If you are able to download a trial of Ghost, try it out. If the drive geometry is exactly same then Ghost will not care what you are trying to do but if you changed anything between the old and the new drive setup, Ghost would just fall in a heap. I wont go into all of them or we will be here for a million years (and do trust me on this one, I do know). The old days saw Ghost being able to clone anything under certain conditions. I need some positive feedback that Ghost works before I shell out $90 for a copy that may or may not do its job!!
I'll appreciate all comments, suggestions and other advice. Would the cluster size be identical on a 40Gb (total) capacity RAID array, and if not, can Ghost account for this?
#Norton ghost does not see drive drivers
the switch will be totally transparent to Win98, all hardware drivers and programs installed? What about disk cluster sizes? I've only got the one partition (FAT32 running Win98SE) on the old drive, which is 9.2Gb in capacity. So, my question is? HOW GOOD IS IT REALLY? Can I seriously expect it to seamlessly move all of my data (operating system inclusive, of course) from the old SCSI drive onto my freshly fdisk'ed and formatted RAID array? So that when I unhook my old SCSI drive I can boot up from the RAID array and have all of my data, programs, desktop customizations and everything else EXACTLY the same as on the old drive, ie. Now, I've heard a LOT of praise about Norton Ghost and it's abilities in migrating the contents of hard drives. Sure, it took a while but I always felt safer and more stable with a "fresh" reinstall. In the past, I've always *religiously* reinstalled everything if I did a reformat or swapped out a HDD: the OS, drivers, apps, games, custom programs, etc etc.
#Norton ghost does not see drive software
Now I'm faced with the horrors of software migration onto my new RAID array. OK, believe it or not, I've made the switch from U160 SCSI to IDE RAID, going from a single 10000 rpm SCSI drive to two 7200rpm ultra-quiet Barracuda IVs running in RAID 0.
