I have NT Server installed on a 9GB SCSI drive. I'm wanting to create an image of this disk and transfer it to a 40GB IDE disk.

What will I need to do so that NT recognises the IDE disk when booting up?

It should work if you boot from a floppy, partition and format the IDE drive, then restore the image to that partition (using whatever imaging software you have).

If we're talking NT 4 and previous, note that it can only "see" a primary partition of 4Gb (4095Mb). CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk
