from experience DONT use Norton ghost 2003 or any other version.
the 2003 version will stuff your machine in to a norton ghost hanging cycle as it does'nt support sata drives
the latest version 'appears' to work but when you swap the drives over there are lots of broken things like validation keys, registeratino of software... nightmare I had.
from the reasearch I've done I would use Acronis TrueImage

There is nothing wrong You asked the question again in EE forum. You/We might get new updates from other experts, we might come to know latest software to do the task... might come to know the experiences of other users as chilternPC told etc...
So you can continue the question and look for more expert comments...

I agree, this did not need to be closed like this.
no I don'r object......well can you blame him? 2.5/4 suggestions was to go 'to other posts' ! we should distill what we know into a reply and not simply 'redirect......'

@ chilternPC
I didn't mean to redirect the user. Just for a knowledge base I posted him the links to review the past discussions..also I didn't object. Just I gave a tip for him to wait for new answers..
Also from the question it seems the user is new to the topic - cloning drives.. also he is new to EE forum.
So its nothing wrong for him to get awareness of the list of Cloning softwares.

See the links. If u are already aware just ignore the links.
Personally I use R-Drive Image to clone drives. As arixsin said, this question will bring a lot of personal opinions.
