Looking for a Disk Cloner that fits a 1.44 floppy & copes with NTFS drHelpful Member!

I'm trying to find a simple basic Disk Cloning utility that will fit on a (DOS/WIN98) bootable floppy disk and deal with (WIN2K Pro) NTFS partitions.

There is no need to dynamic resizing or suchlike.

So I'd boot the WIN2K Pro SP4 system from the floppy and clone the whole disk (80GB to 80GB) to a blank second HDD.

Good old PowerQuest DriveCopy (Ver 2) fits on a bootable floppy - but it can't (almost does!) cope with the WIN2K NTFS formatted drive :(

Hopefully someone knows of such a utility - I'd be very grateful.

You could try Norton Ghost - but it is not free.

Create a Linux Boot Floppy, and add DDRESCUE to it... or use a Live Linux CD, e.g. PartedImage or Knoppix...
