I will try it. I'll have to see if we have Ghost 2002 anywhere. Do you 
strictly recommend that disk utility and version? Family here this 
weekend, probably can't do it until the next. I guess I will quickly 
test the now #2 hard drive in IDE1 spot with a clean HD in IDE2 before 
proceeding with the Ghost, right? Just turn Email off in the Control 
Panel before shut down and test to make sure no mail is received 
during the test. Not worried about FTP during a test, it'll be the wee 
hours of morning (usually Friday night/Sat morning). Just would like 
to be sure the other is ready to come up if I totally hose the Ghost 
process :(

How long do you think the Ghost process will take?
