Default Ghosting a win98 machine

P.S. I'd like a free program that will do the same thing he's asking
so I can keep a backup on my 1TB system to quickly restore my own
win98SE computer. If anybody knows of one, please reply.


If you boot to a Linux CD, you can use dd:

There is a Windows version, but it doesn't support Win9x ... yet:

If you have a Seagate drive somewhere in your system, then Seagate's
DiscWizard will clone the drive for you. In automatic mode it can also
resize the partitions to fill the target drive.

It appears that DiscWizard may be based on Acronis True Image. At
least some of its component modules are copyrighted by Acronis.

Other drive manufacturers may also have free cloning software.
