Disk-to-Disk copying problem!

[Capt. Picard]

My previous problem regarding the NIC miraculously fixed itself. :o

Anyway I now have another problem I don't know how to fix.

This is what I want to do:::: I have 1 HDD with 2 partitions. A Linux and a NTFS Windows partition.

I want to copy/clone the entire disk to another disk and then repeat this 50 times. The program I'm using is Norton 2003. An image copying app. I boot from an external CD into this program and from there I do the copying. I used this program many times before without any problem. But then I only worked with 1 NTFS partition. Never a dual-boot hard drive.

The problem is it doesn't seem to work. After the copy, when I start up it boots till it gets to the word "Grub" (the boot-loader of Edubuntu) and that's it. No further.

Is there another utility I should use or should I check something else?

All the computers are identical (HDD model, BIOS version, everything).

What do you think this is, a PC forum? Stop asking pc related questions.

Another vote for Acronis.

Yet another vote for Acronis. Best disk imaging program out there.

[Capt. Picard]

Which Acronis?

True Image

Disk Director

Migrate easy

[hokeyplyr48]

true image and migrate easy i know will do it. not sure about disk director, sounds like it would though. they're all readily available though (lee)

Ghost doesn't like Linux, so that is most likely the issue. The problem is that grub is loaded into the MBR, so the easiest way to fix that is throw in your install disc and reinstall grub. But as tohers suggested try Acronis as it might play nice.
