The goal is to move a Windows 2003 server from a single SATA drive to an Adaptec 1220SA RAID 1 using Ghost.
This procedure specifically mentions Ghost as handling this type of operation. "For copying server partitions, I recommend Norton Ghost."
it also says this which sounds positive (the last line):
"If you will be copying the startup Windows partition to a different drive, the disk controllers involved in the copy operation must support Extended INT13h extensions so that they can be seen by the partition copy software. (Most SCSI and RAID controllers, and all modern IDE/SATA controllers support this)."
But here, on Adaptec's site, it shoots that idea down.
Maybe the Adaptec article doesn't specifically apply to that controller. If you look on the left side, it doesn't list my product.
Not sure how to figure out if it will work without buying the hardware first and giving it a trial run on another computer. Expensive way to find out!!!!
